no way the rajab car will come in under 1000kg,id say the rajab car will be about +1200kg and thats a half chassis car,maybe about 1100kg for a 3/4 chassis.

well mate pacmans yellow rx3 weighs 900kilos an thats 3/4 chassis full feather weight car an run a 7.6 now for a vl to go under 1000kilos is pretty dam hard, but i think it will be on the border line of most vl 3/4 chassis cars i think just over or if it is under it wont be by that much.

I think people are forgetting a few things. While you take weight out of the car and all the uneeded components and sh1t like carpet, you add about 20-30 metres of tube/cage/chassis, 9", massive fark off wheels and tyres, it all adds up. I'd say the Rajab cars weighs around 1200-1250kg plus driver, Robs car I reckon will come in at about 1080-1100kg plus driver with the WA intercooler and that rediculously big turbo , and it has far more lightening then bresciani and rajabs cars. They aren't as light as some may think 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
