    @diVeFR ... yes, ~1 gal of fuel, just above the red flashing fuel indicator mark, I believe a gal. of fuel weighs less than water as fuel floats on water ... also, I miss posted my measured torque value, it's actually ~56lb-ft ... I've never measured the curb wt. of the old girl so I'm not sure exactly how much wt. she's shed, I know the stock pipe/muffler arrangement after the cat is ~21 lbs ...

    @BB ... yea, & you could get a Ford GT for even less, from Revell :laugh: ...
