Totally agree with that. that's why I went with the rear seat delete and was trying to buy the light weight seats from
@Marc W a few weeks back for my '09 SRT and then started a re-evaluation before buying my RE. But my point was the
consistency of failures. I mean why isn't it like: "Pass 900HP and the rods are no good, Pass 1000HP and the tranny is gonna go, Pass "X" amount of HP and the axles are suspect.
On a side note: I don't get the thinking where some guys are hardcore "full weight" guys and taking pride in leaving it fat. If the car goes faster by losing a few pounds without making it a gutted race car, so what? I mean that's part of the hot rod thing. You make it lean and mean where you can within reason. If there's a gratuitous piece put on the car by the manufacturer to make a gov't body happy or some fluff that's truly not necessary what's the shame in jettisoning it for the sake of better performance?
