Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

Doesn't say why it's a factory lightweight - is it because there is no radio?

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

I actually like that car! There still are pretty good deals on them.

Figure it out, radio and speakers got to be 3-4 pounds, Now thats a lightweight!
I tried to order one with the L82 Vette Motor and they wouldnt let me so Im kinda suspicious about this one...

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

I have an 81 Z/28 and if I take the radio and speakers out of it I can call it a lightweight?

Mine has the 4 speed so that don't count. Hmmm I have the posi, so that don't count either.

I got it,his has the 350 and mine's 305 so my car is lighter by 45 cubic inches. I win!

I have a lightweight as well. Jee Whiz!

Anybody else posting besides Rick and Sam's?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

no, the owner only wieghts 130lbs!!

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

maybe it only has 15 pounds of air in each tire...

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

Maybe it only has 15lbs of HELIUM in the tires.Wouldn't that make it even more of a lightweight? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

This is strange. I had to go back and reread the auction because I got a call last night from a guy I grew up with and he told me he had just bought a 1978 Camaro Z/28 with M-21, no hood insulation, radio delete and a few other strange options or lack of and he wanted to know if I knew anything about them. Told him I thought it was just another 78 Z/28.

Bought it from the original owner with $15k miles on it and he also said it didn't have undercoating.

Think I should tell him he has a lightweight?

Only reason I posted this is because he told me the same story. No it's not the same car, his is green with puke green interior. Looking at it tomorrow because I am just curious.

Weird,

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

Your friend may have my old car which ive been looking for, mine came with an LM1 and not an L82 as this lightweight car was listed with...Does your friends car have a tarantula manifold with Mr. Gasket open top air cleaner also look for a WHITE hurst t-handle shifter knob..not many of those around..

He may be referring to the lack of power. What do those things pack? 175hp? Instead of a 19 sec 1/4 mi, it'll do a 18.9.....

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

Not true, I got mine to low 14's with a couple bolt on parts..

Re: Camaro Lightweight???
 

Jerry Stealy East Moline runs a car car just like this in stock class 11.06 not bad for a 305.
