i've been told each 100 pounds you lose off your car, you gain 1/10th of a second in the quarter mile
not sure if it's true or not.... but if it is, you can lose 1,000 pounds and there's a full second gain
Thats a little off because I ran a 17.2 at the track and I pulled out my front passenger seat, jack, spare, trunk carpet, rear seats and floor mats and ran a 16.6. I beileve its every 100 pounds equals 10hp. But thats how I ran a little quicker!
