Kremit,
Does your weight drop include removing your A/C, UDP, and cam gears?

Not cam gears, but the a/c only weighs 24lbs total (condensor,compressor, accumulator, and most the lines). That was on a bathroom scale though, not a digital racing scale, so don't believe it.

I know I said I was done with this thread but just to remind everyone on how this started since he keeps sliding further and further back.
How would you read what he posted?
He dropped 300 lbs for his trip to the race track right??? 
That is, was, and always will be complete BS since there is no way you can "field strip" more then about 100 lbs regardless of what Contour/Mystique/Cougar you have.
I'm not talking about removing doors, glass, hood, dash, battery, et cetera...

So you trying to go back on what you said? Sorry I gotta be so specific: I weighed my car once when it was around stock weight. Then I removed stuff over a period of time and removed even more just for this day, weighed it and headed straight to the drag strip. Happy? I know u still are gonna say I didn't remove all that weight. Disagree all you want. Me and others have done it. Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean it's not doable. I guess I can say you don't have a 3L since I don't have one.

I guess the argument may be confused here as Kremi may have one HELL of a sub box (or something  ) that he removed prior to reweighing the car. What Demon and I are saying is that on the base weight of any Contour, you cannot field strip 300lbs off it! Kremi may have wieghed the car with who knows what sh!t in there then removed it and viola 300lbs lighter. Simple fact of the matter is that if you take an average Contour with no stereo (read: sub box) in it and try and slim it down, you won't get anywhere much past 100lbs lighter, without removing doors, all but the drivers seat, panels etc. I think I spotted Kremi's car photographed on the net, here it is.

I think that's the answer.
This subject is spinning it's wheels. No need to drag it on any further.
