Using stock C5 hp of 350 flywheel lowers it to 4.4 seconds which seems a bit faster than it is.
Good points though didn't add in my own weight to the car which would make it 2500lb + 170 = 2670
Good question if manufactures add in the weight of a full tank of gas to there #'s I would like to know that. A gallon of gas is about 6lbs
Haven't weight my car but used an accurate shipping scale to weight each piece removed, or compared lighter pieces to heavier stock pieces to get my weight of 2500lbs (Using stock weight 2774). I will post my data sheet when I get home from work.

I did edit my last post in the time you where still replying it looks like lol...
Still fun to play around with weight/hp to see different guestimated results.
Do you happen to remember the weight of stock full header back? And the stock air intake noise generator and all?
