anyone have a 1sc stripper z28?

**secondgearscratch** · 06-20-2007, 06:24 AM

they only weigh 3350 pounds which is pretty light for a fourth gen. i have a low option hard top and im going to shave weight which will include removal of power accessories, un-needed shit, so and so forth.

just curious who has an actual stripper model z.....

My best friend had one, 2002 Z28 T56.

I use to have a '94 stripper Z. I sure miss that car.

A little FYI: My '98 Formula with full stainless steel (kooks/corsa) exhaust stock 16 in wheels, all power options and t-tops came in only 100 lbs heavier at ~3450. That is with absolutely no weight reduction. I even left the spare tire in, plus a couple of heavy things in the back seat.

its not a big difference but if you consider what you have to do to trim 100 plus pounds off of the interior it can get tedious. thats cool that you had an lt1 stripper, didnt know they existed!

kooks/corsa!!! wow, thats awesome! probably set ya back a bit eh?

**The Scientist** · 06-20-2007, 11:20 AM

100 lbs is quite do-able in our cars, but if you think of doing the same thing to the stripper then it would defiantely be that much easier. My Z was hard top with almost no options, only power driver's seat and CD player.

Yeah, the exhaust set me back...alot! You won't believe how heavy the Corsa muffler is either! That probably offset the performace gains. lol

I just read that the complete removal of the air conditioning system is worth about 100lbs. I live in Seattle, where it's not really a must have item, so I'm thinking about it. There's even block off plates to cover up the hole left by the unit available.

AC removal helps performance wise too, less stress on the engine. But the thing is it doesn't help the V8s as much as the 4 bangers

**secondgearscratch** · 06-20-2007, 12:19 PM

i live in st. louis missouri where its 85 degrees in january and 40 in july. the ac stays. ive went through that hell with 3 other cars.
i dont particularly care for power windows, locks, cruise control, traction control, or power steering for that matter. when you began car life without what has become necessity, anything after is excess in my opinion.

shaving weight is something that i just recently began to acknowledge as a smart thing. i figure that a new z06 weighs about 3100 and change, and if i could be within a hundred and fifty pounds or more then i wouldnt worry too much about running mid 11s. just a personal goal to shoot for.

My Dad just bought one about a month ago, 02 m6 Z28. Only options he's got are leather and the hurst shifter. It came with some ugly ass '99 vette wheels though.

I loved his car, he had leather in it but that was it, complete stripper otherwise. Driving his was more fun than driving my own honestly. I like the concept of them myself and wouldn't mind acquiring one someday if given the chance.

Brooke will be back in due time, possibly a new pic of her though. I need more/better

Whats this 1sc code? I don't have my original door jamb sticker, lost that when that tractor ran me off the road and door had to be replaced. I don't know any code but my car is a zero option 2000 a4 Z28 and another friend in my club has a M6 one. Manual everything, no trunk release, no cruise, no traction control, no fog lights, cloth interior, hardtop, standard non chrome rims. only difference in our cars is mine has a defroster is red and auto his is SOM had chrome rims and M6. One thing I found odd about mine was the WS6/SS spec orange DeCorbon shocks that came on the car stock.

i believe the 1sc cars were only 6 speeds but im not 100%.

i have a low option hard top as well, which seems a bit rarer than t top cars lately. i just havent ever seen an actual 1sc car, and to be quite honest, ive only seen one other hard top z28 other than my own. weird.

to answer your question i really dont know if the 1sc is on the door jamb but i assume something to that affect would be. its kind of the same thing as an 02 anniversary ss being a 1le.

anyone know for sure?

**slims00ls1z28** · 06-20-2007, 05:53 PM

Then mine isn't it's just a stripped down auto, but Dennis's definately is. Plus his is SOM. Next time I get a chance I'll get some pics. I know its quick with full bolt-ons, tune DR's and 4.10's through cut-outs he has gone into the 11's I know for a fact.

**fraz1le** · 06-20-2007, 06:44 PM

I have an 02 and it weighs in at 3600 with me thats with full interior and 1/4 tank of gas. I also have a 99 1le car that weighs 3500 without the back seats a/c and no fire proof crap under the carpet from the front seats back. I weigh in at a healthy 270 so the 1sc cars are pretty stipped both cars are 6-speeds.
