no prob. thats what forums for. keep us updated on the holesaw project. also remeber that every pound of rotational weight equals 3 pounds sprung weight. so if you can find a carbon fiber driveshaft/ light wheels/ rotors/ flywheel youll see bigger results. a heavier flywheel is prefered in drag racing for a high polar moment to help launch.

p.s sell your JL audio n amp for a ipod

You asked a simple question that received more than enough simple answers. After going through your first post and reviewing this entire thread I did notice that the answer to your question is just being thrown around back and forth. The problem is you are just not willing to accept it.

I understand you are trying to maintain a few aspects of the vehicle such as Luxury, Safety, and Reliability. The bottom line is you just cant achieve all that with a hole saw. Not on an SC at least. Ive been in and around these cars for about 5-6 years. I know.

still sc's are tanks. out of all the totaled sc's ive seen the interior cabin always seems to look untouched, the front and rear croumble zones absorb a lot of impact. i remember seeing on cl a champagne colored sc3 fall 20 feet off a ramp running from the cops. driver lived. if you were going to cut holes in a civic or some lightweight small car that would be unsafe. even though most arnt that safe to begin with.

I remember this story. It happened in the bay area. Til this day I believe there still is no reported death from being in an accident in an SC. If you compare all the crash pictures on this forum you'll notice that the cabins stay pretty much intact. I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of that.
