Bryan,There can be a 30% weight benefit when the car is completely chrome moly,this is the weight of the tubing only ,depending on the builder and if minimum spec tubing sizes are used.........A moly car will more likely be a professionally constructed car, altho there are many excellent mild steel cars out there , I would only consider one that has been TIG welded.......The key to buying any car that is coming up for recert or is out of certification , is to consult the SFI specs and see if any tubes need to be added and how difficult it will be to install them. ... Many older moly cars may not cert for quicker than 8.50 without the addition of diagonals under both floors or across the top of the main hoops. Kidney bars are also missing on a lot of older cars. ........ I would suggest only buying a car on the condition that it recieves a new 25.1 or 25.4 cert. before the sale. ..... Tom
