God damn... think about what you're asking...

I bet you could buy one, do an engine swap, throw on an aftermarket suspension, brakes, tranny, swap out the heavy ass seats to counter the engine weight, and end up with a 425hp Challenger which weighs 3700lbs.... for no more than the 45k Challenger SRT.


Not a bad deal if it could be done, seeing as the car would be 500lbs lighter and no more expensive than an SRT with the same power...
No, you couldn't - because the process of overhauling the supension, MUCH LESS doing the engine swap, would change the weight of the vehicle. In fact, it would probably be pretty close to the weight of the SRT8.

Its as if vehicles come out of the factory and the manufacturer just punches a weight into a computer and POOF! Thats what the car weighs. Screw physics - from that point on, THATS going to be the car weight. Personally, I'm holding out for the typo that gets me a 375 pound camaro.

Yeah... I'd be worried about too much lift at that point...

I mean, only 37.5 pounds... You'd be more like a paper weight than a car...
