Poor mans Hemi car. (M-body)

My 77 360 Aspen R/T with me in it (I weighed about 230 at that time) and a full tank of gas scaled at 3920 LBS at our dragstrip. I have a hard time believing a 4 door M chasssis would only weigh 3400... Just the sound and feel of the car made me believe it weighed a lot more than the Dusters and Dart Sport I'd had before, and all were equipped similarly.
The door on a Volare/Aspen seemed to be almost a foot thick, or at least a good deal wider? thicker? than the ones on my A bodies. Add in the telescoping crash bumpers, crash bar reinforcements in the doors and other federally mandated reinforcements, it has to add up to more weight.
Not trying to start a feud, Robert, just finding it hard to believe it could be that light.

As for weight removal, I think a guy could find a way to shed some pork in areas that a) don't show and b) don't affect structural strength/safety. Then again, you could just add more HP! LOL! Maybe I'm fortunate to live here in flyover country, I don't know what you have to put up with on the east coast for safety inspections.

If you need a name for it, how about Vanilla Killa? Gonna be a cool ride when it hits the road!
