[Shotimes] OT: Autocross Pt 2, "Not That Heavy"

[Techpriest]

According to Car and Driver my 89 has a curb weight of 3348lbs.  Add 200lbs
of driver and there is the 3500 I mentioned.  I did think at first, "My car
is no heavier then a Vette and they do well at Autocross."  Then I
remembered, those are Vettes!

While my 89 does not appear to me to be as large as the later models the
checking I have done does not seem to show it is much lighter.  The 99 came
in at 3440lbs, less then 100 lbs more then mine.

I will let everyone know how it goes.  I am not looking to set records at
the moment, just have fun and not embarrass myself.

"Son, we have never had anyone hit ALL the cones before!"
