2011 twin turboed prius
Hey Juice, Man you are an animal 
Lets try to run real early a few times while it's sill cool out, then let us cool down run a few more. At the end I am going for the heads up hot laps I know the hot lap time may not be great
but I just love the thrill. Oh and by the way my addiction is all on your head 
I realy hope you get me good you deserve it
but I am out to be FAST, Real FAST
With all the runs under your belt I will be sweatin it . So when do we run? it must be on film. I feel like Clint Eastwood before a gun fight 
Of course if you just want to compare slips that would be fine.

Hopefully our cars will be close so we can have a good time. We will be the only CLS cars and it will be great fun. We need eachother and you can learn from all the mistakes I have made. We will have plenty of chances to line up if we choose , plenty of comparisons we will make. Your going to be shocked how much faster you will go in Sacramento. This is our tune up....Gotta get the best set up and be certain we are ready for the December gathering of looks like 25 plus Benzes! So this will be a very important Test and Tune for our cars. You make it fun , and man I LOVE the fact you got hooked just like me
Rick bring PARIS anywho

Its in the works, offset is kind screwy, but dam they are cheap and 18.5 lbs
I even considered the K1 on the rear and K3 in front but bolt pattern on the K3 not gonna work
Right now the wheel thing is coming to a head.
After weighing my stock rims that 2 piece double spoke is 36 lbs w/o rubber!!!!
The 305 on the rear is going to provide some 12 inches of contact but we will see how badly it slows the trap. I am gonna try a few runs with the wide r comp tire then switch to the 18", either in a kosei or volk. Also Renntech 7 spoke is possible all the way round but thats 4k and they are used...I just want some cheapy light 19' fronts with stickies and 18' rears with stickies they dont even have to match at this point..

GUYS I WANNA SHARE SOME QUICK RESULTS
1. Stock rims and tires (Pirelli p Zero Rosso) Rear 66 lbs per corner
Fronts 63.5 lbs per corner
The Michelin Pilot Sport cups in 305 are lighter than the Pirelli P zero 285 by 3 lbs ..They offer a 2 inch wider contact path, an entire ft...
Man so there ya have it this weight reduction has been constant on my car.
Just puting it on record now I have actually weighed each componet. I will take the car to a weigh station to log an exact weight prior to my runs on 11/30/2007. we are all getting serious so its time to go to the next level
2. Spare tire 39.5 lbs
3. Battery uh heavy 55 lbs
4. Tools , mats, ashtrays, 21 lbs(inclues spare cover)
115 lbs saved in the trunk
Rear drag tires and rims 53 lbs per corner(saves 26 lbs)
So new rears could get me down another 11 lbs per corner
New fronts 16 lbs per corner another 54 lbs comes off...

Juicee, you do know that 1 pound of rotational weight is equivalent to 6 pounds of static weight, right?
If you are able to save 26 lbs of rotational weight, it is almost equivalent to 156 lbs of static weight
By the way, the RennTech monolights are one of the lightest and strongest rims out there........ very high performance

Rick, I'm sorry, but the RennTech monolights are the lightest available rims and will make a huge impact in 1/4 mile. Will your car's mods keep up? I still have faith in you buddy You're the only one left to stop the juicee man

80 lbs of rotational weight is equivalent to about 480 lbs of static weight That's an impressive weight reduction I feel you'll be in the 12.3-12.4 category in Fontana and maybe flat 12s in Sacramento
They say 1 lbs of rotational weight is equal to 6.3 lbs of static weight, but I like to just use 6 lbs to be on the conservative side.
