It would probably knock 100 lbs max off if all they changed was the alum. block, but 100 off the front of it would do wonders for its poor handling.

It may also explain it's 5k plus price jump for this year. What's up with the large price increase? They must have done something special to justify it. I also don't understand why there are no official engine shots seeing the cars will be at the dealers this spring. Is the one being sold at Barret Jackson the actual car or just a pre-pro. representation.
