With all that said, weight on the track is the same as weight on the street--less is better. Just had no idea how much these kits weigh in at. Thanks for the info.
Racing and risk go hand in hand whether it's modified or not...

Sure, less weight is always better, but horsepower is nice too.

That said, the stock Z has ~9.73 lbs/hp while a 500hp TT Z has 6.74 lbs/hp.

So, even with an extra 140lbs (conservative estimate), the extra power is well worth it on the TT kit.
