No Sean. Weightwise, at present, we're heavy. At the E break, the car fits at 2870. That is roughly the dry weight of the car, add a couple hundred pounds with me in it. I'm realistic, without a lot of work, we're not going to get there.

Right now, we're just baby stepping. Learning what we can about the car. Trust me on this one, for stock, there aren't a lot of go fast parts to throw at this car. I'm just enjoying the challenge for the moment.
