I thought sheps car weight 2650? NDRA rules in Pro 4 with 2 power adders and an aftermarket tranny you can have a 1g AWD w/ a 2.0 motor weigh 1800lbs, class min. I don't know if sheps running a 2.4 or 2.3 or 2.14 but he is well over the weight limit. Also if you run a stock tranny your turbo can be 78mm but aftemarket trannys are 74mm. I wonder if a dog box counts as aftermarket?

Shep runs a 2.0l. I am not sure if his tranny counts as aftermarket or not. It is still inside the stock tranny case.

Most sanctioning bodies consider something that has dogs instead of synchros an aftermarket trans.

Thats awesome. I was watching some On Demand T.V. car racing the other day and Shep was on it. It was cool, it showed him and his car up close and personal. Anyone else see it?

Without turning it into a total piece of shit, I doubt if you're going to find any extra weight on his car. He's no fool. Any lighter and it'd look like Curt Brown's old ugly-ass 1G. :D

Well without stock glass and take some of that interior out, I'm sure it would lighten it up quite a bit and still not be that ugly!

Yeah he could still dump some more weight. He is probably still about 600lbs overweight compared to his competition. I just saw the in car video, it was pretty insane. 141mph in the 1/8 mile? WTF?

Stock interior panels don't weigh anything. And he's asked about the front windshield, since it weighs 30+ lbs. 2650 with driver is damn light for a streetable DSM, most people are still trying to figure out how he got it that light as it is.

There's no way to take out anywhere near that much without bolting an AWD drivetrain to a tube frame with lightweight body skins. I think even Rau's old car without driver was around 2200, and it was a tin can.

Shep's got the magic formula, keep making more horsepower.
