I was thinking when people strip their cars out to save weight there must be a bottom line of weight were you can get to in a corsa without sacrificing safety if you know what i mean?

If you stripped the car completely to a bare shell, how much would that weigh before all the running gear?

who's got the lightest corsa??

cheers

its easy to beat if you start drilling bit out and cutting bit away, thats litrally from taking bits out

the LMS trackcar will be well below that, the doors are cut out, so is the boot, and has fibreglass bonnet, and perspex windows
