This Coupe is the full Aero Sport Package with 19" rims...although I had my 16" Drag radials out back...they saved 10lbs per side and that equates to even more rotational weight saved.

I don't have the OEM NAV, but I do have the Magellan 760 Roadmate which weighs the same and I have the Scan Guage II velcroed on top of that. I gutted the car except for the glove box, arm rest and two front seats...everything else was gone.

Sometimes the oxygen availability is such that it's more than it would be a sea level therefore giving the car 100%+ of it's power. Boss' runs were in air that gave his car about 105% power.
Edit: I broke out the calculator, I guess that is about right. Why can't I have a track like that?
Last time I ran it was -
91.9 degrees
24.1 dew point
30.01 in/Hg pressure
at 2200 feet
Which is a density altitude of about 4720 feet.

lol, I'm not much of a drag racer. Just the way it was posted looked like they were corrected numbers. Not that corrected numbers are bad, the lowest elevation 1/4 around socal is Cal Speedway at 1100 feet. LACR gives you a generic elevation correction to use, not sure what the Cal Speedway generic correction is.
Is Vegas better in the winter?
