Factory Hood instead of carbon fiber+30lbs
With production car you have to run the battery in the front where they were put by factory. So front battery and add one in the back. +50lbs
Use factory seats instead of light weight race seats +120lbs
With production car in stock you can even use back seat +75lbs
Instead of light weight 3 or 5 gallon fuel cell use max allowed 16gal fuel cell or even better heavier stock fuel tank. +75lbs
No rule that a car has to be built with chrome moly instead of mild steel. Mild steel cage with few extra bars +90lbs
Add factory spare tire and jack. +45lbs
NHRA allowed 500lbs of permanent mounted ballast.
Walla 4000lbs LT1 2023 SS Camaro.
