Dunno.. Might be hoot to drive.

Nope, not for me...not enough poop for a steel body car.... a glass body Thunder Roadster will be lighter, faster.

Now, put a Honda K24A2 in that little guy and make the Porsche guys cry.

That is a legends car chassis, with some added bracing with a Honda body. Can't weigh much more than a roadster. The legends cars are 1300 with driver and the roadster is 1500 with driver so it is probably very similar.

The Honda is 1500 without driver.

Still very similar. A few roadster guys are pushing over 1600 lbs. Got a couple 6'7+ big boys running them. At 180 lbs my roadster shits about 1530 with 1 gallon of fuel. Nothing to do to lighten them up, that is legal per the rule book. Spec wheels, shocks, and everything else. Hell they DQ'd a guy a few years ago for sanding the inside of the fiberglass body to remove some weight. I think most of the weight on that thing comes from the bigger fuel cell, if that is wet weight, and from additional bracing. There is a lot of extra tubing on that chassis compared to the legends car chassis.

Thanks Robert, I didn't know the roadsters were heavier than the legends.
Makes sense now that you explained the chassis differences.

Cheers
