my02grand 11-30-2009, 06:58 PM I saw that black one on eBay. 12K Miles.... what a shame grip...
SVT_GT500 11-30-2009, 06:59 PM They forgot to take the nav out.
pjs1965 11-30-2009, 07:02 PM I thought for a second you were re-doing the interior :D
KingOfTheRoad09 11-30-2009, 07:06 PM there are stil more parts to take out, get to work Ant:D
T-Time 11-30-2009, 07:10 PM All this tells us is, our nav unit and speakers must suck.

SRT-MANA 11-30-2009, 07:19 PM LoL........I was gonna ask you to weigh it all & give us a total weight....since no one has done that before:)
Vinnysrt8 11-30-2009, 07:50 PM Thats not a bad idea maybe next year im going to do that
jdoc7 11-30-2009, 08:05 PM LoL........I was gonna ask you to weigh it all & give us a total weight....since no one has done that before:)
Actually, I HAVE done this before and to my disappointment, I did not improve my times. In fact, I was slower by 0.11 seconds in the quarter compared to the time in my signature. Theoretically, I should have dropped about 0.15 seconds in the quarter with the weight savings so maybe I just had an off day at the track, I dunno. I have since put everything back and will not do that again. The rear seat backs are truly a pain in the ass to remove and not worth it. Here's the breakdown:
Front passenger seat: 58 lbs
Rear seat back: 68 lbs
Rear bench seat: 29 lbs
Cargo floor: 22 lbs
Cargo cover: 5 lbs
____________________________
TOTAL: 182 lbs

own 2 SRT8 11-30-2009, 08:33 PM I saw a add on craigs list a month or two back for a complete interior for the GC srt , makes me wonder.... now that I saw this post.
Rambit 11-30-2009, 08:36 PM Well whoever took all that stuff out did a damn neat job. Well done!!!

HaHa, F' that! I'd rather stick a hot poker in my eye!:D
BOYCHIKS 11-30-2009, 08:44 PM Haha, I saw this on there. Even have the video of them driving it.
I'd wonder if you removed almost everything how much time it would take off.

lol......................
BuilderBill 11-30-2009, 10:02 PM Actually, it looks identical to the way the LX guys run at the track.:)

Harrison@Stage6 12-01-2009, 07:15 AM Damn..... I was saying you're crazy as hell until I read the end. Niiiiiice Ant. Ya got me!
Blown-WK 12-01-2009, 07:24 AM Dude that is hardcore. I think its enough of a pain just to take my sub/amp out. I remember Keoni did this at Zmax and it looked so weird to see a jeep stripped out. Personally I think its more impressive to run a quick time with a 5000+lb jeep.
LokeDogg00 05-03-2012, 02:37 AM All that to shave off .15 seconds??:eek: Doesnt seem worth it to me at all. I love my interior
scrapiron7 05-03-2012, 04:58 AM All that to shave off .15 seconds??:eek: Doesnt seem worth it to me at all. I love my interior
Rasied from the dead huh?
Blkoutsrt8 05-03-2012, 06:45 AM I think I might top this for mir for weight loss
StangSlayerMA 05-03-2012, 07:57 AM All that to shave off .15 seconds??:eek: Doesnt seem worth it to me at all. I love my interior
Do you realize how hard it is to drop .15 once you've entered low 12's? You start to run out of small mods to do......... Its either shell out $$$$ for FI to break into the 11's, Or spend a few hours gutting the interior.
MichaelSRT8 05-07-2012, 08:11 PM I just recently gutted mine from the rear seat back. Had to leave the passenger front in.
However I think it is faster. No stats to prove, just feeling the way she drives.
