Hey Frank, some fyi;
I know we were bantering about weight, so I weighed my car after my first run. I was surprised to see 3590 lbs on the scale! I assumed it would be lighter, the curb weight for a base V8 Nova is around 3100 lbs. However, after I factored in my 215 lbs, that left 285 for optional stuff. In talking with MikeA about it yesterday, we id'd several things on the Yenko Novas that were not included in the base Nova that would increase the weight. Things like power brakes, disc brakes, HD cooling system, rear sway bar, AM radio, dual exhaust with resonators, possibly the Magnum wheels, etc... So, if you get a chance to go 'test-n-tune' weigh your car to see if you are in that range also.
