Help with stripping down C5 for HPDE and RR

[Avatar]

I want to take my beater C5 corvette , strip it down and run it at HPDE and road races, etc. I know there are many people who have done this before, and I am looking for some guidance.

I have not found any good links or websites that chronicle the construction / stripping down of a C5. I found this awesome site:

http://www.mowhineracing.com/

But he is working with a C4. I'm looking for info regarding the kind of weight savings I can expect when stripping down a C5, where to spend money and time, and what kind of mistakes to avoid.

Thank you for any help you can give me and links.

Yes, thats exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. Does anyone have some hard numbers on the weight savings associated with the different aspects of this process? In the thread, he mentions 300 lbs but doesn't seem too sure of it.

That car is hot fire! It looks like he has done everything right.
