I will when I go to CA Speedway--they have a scale there. Last time I was there with the old car, it weighed 3766 with me in the car. That would be 3561 without me in it.

There is something going on this Friday, right? I will let you know when I get up there---hopefully sometime in June---but I have to check the track schedule.

**ZmanM3** · 05-13-2009, 11:27 PM

Dang, looks like the car is coming along nicely. Do you plan on taking it off the road completely and just trailering it to events?

**psfracer** · 05-14-2009, 12:59 AM

Pretty much, as I was lucky with the last car of what I got covered. But, if the collision would have took out the engine lets say---the insurance would not have covered the mods.

In my particular case, it was a non issue. But, the insurance company could have just easily said that they were not covering a 600 hp mustang (as I did not inform them of the mods I made).

So I am going to insure my truck for a stated value (because I have mods on that thing to, and with the amount of miles on it if it were totaled I would loose my shirt). So the mustang will be insured for a stated value also, and for comprehensive only (theft, vandalism). I have to ask what insurance I also need if the car were to be damaged while towing.

Lookin' good. Hopefully you can hit the tracks shortly and get some vids back up. Congrats on getting back into action.
