That's pretty clean looking.
 
kind of spiffy, I wonder where they lost the weight at?

Sean Mason at Multimatic said most of the work was to remove weight located high in the car to lower the center of gravity. They didn’t do things like change the doors and trunk to lighter materials bc these cars are nose heavy and losing weight in the rear would make it worse.

True story about a brand X, they were in the way and I went to help push their car out of the way, leaned on it and about folded the folded the quarter panel up, I jumped back and one of the crew guys just stared at me, sheepishly...a little acid dipping g goes a long way. Whenever I hear the term "removed weight from high in the car" I instantly think yep..acid dipping.

Good question...altho they did remove the strut brace

no one ran a strut brace

Seen this machine in person and it is remarkable!!! I am likely biased as I think my Boss is beeeee-ute-ttt-full , but this Stang is stunning!!! Bid price is way too low as many don't know the full story on this " Lightweight," , but BS1 and R13 are making sure folks get the full history. If I didn't have mine , boy would this be on my list. Killer car for whomever grabs this skinny Stang.

I figured it would be up there because the data noted by BS1 ( and BossR13 ) is pretty stout historical data on this car! Likely it will go to someone who doesn't intend to race it, because the prototype build and provenance will be quite important to a serious collector ( and the super low miles is a bonus to many)!

Thanks Nick! Biskup car (BOSS302R019) did a 2:24.885 at Road America with George Biskup at the wheel. That’s pretty quick. Great car and driver!
