[Fot] Tr6 vs TR250 weight

[Robert Lang]

Hi,A lot of the weight requirements are based on what class the car runs in (and which GCR in the US). I'll bet the heavier TR6 is based on the C Production setup with Lucas PI or Webers where the TR250 may have been for D Prod and running two 1.75" side drafts.As another data point, I got my car down to 1950 lb for SCCA Solo F Prepared. I had to start getting "dicey" as far as making car reliable (like the 4 lb battery and stuff like that). To be honest, I'd go reliable before I'd try to get as light as possible.All that said, the weights that Scott quotes are somewhat close to the curb weight of a factory car, probably sans bumpers - as the Vintage GCR says, Production cars have to appear as they would in the showroom, or words to that effect. I can also tell you from experience that the interior bits and wire harness weight about 350 lb, so the math is quite easy". Oh, and a stock TR6 bonnet weighs about 75 lb. ;-) Also - glass is very heavy.C ya,Bob Lang
