The 4th Gen rule??????

Is this true?....
"A good rule of thumb for 4th Gen F-Bodies is 100 lbs = 10 hp = 1/10 a second off 1/4 mile time. Figure out a way to get rid of 200 lbs and you have bettered yourself in the 1/4 mile about what a 20hp mod would do for you!"

eh, pretty much, its a rule of thumb, but lots of variables outside of it.

there are no rules of thumb other than that rules of thumb are to be taken lightly at best...

wha? are you gettin phylosophical on me racincamaro?

sorry, let me translate my mumbo-jumbo:
only take em at face value, use em as a reference but dont try to win arguements with em...

and dont bet any money on em, got cha ;) totally agree.

You have to be smart when removing weight from your car, If you want it to help you in the 1/4 mile.. For instance.. sheering 200lbs off the ass end of a Camaro isnt gonna get you through the 1/4 mile much faster, and the car will handle like garbage..

I dont know the 4 corners, but I think the Weight distrobution is something like 58-42.. remove weight and move weight around to your advantage.. You want to try keep close to a 50/50 weight ratio!
