YES ;-)

They are capable of low 11's with the right bolt-ons, suspension, weight, gearing & tires.

so what could you do to lighten them up. all i can think of is rear seat delete, without ripping out the passenger seat and carpet and stuff.

unsprung wt = factory control arms, factory k-member, factory wheels, rear seat, factory springs, shocks, struts.....get o/r exhaust.

There are a lot of things you can do to get rid of wt- I'd say it would depend on what the car will be used for (ie- DD vs track car). If it's a track car stripping it would be no big deal. If it's a DD- I'd stop at what I listed above.

Lighter wheels will cost you a lot of $ but you can get them as light as 18.5 lbs per wheel as opposed to the 27 lbs per wheel we have from the factory. Go with a good coil over or airbag suspension- that will also save a lot of wt. Going with a good k-member can save around 40lbs. It doesn't sound like much but you could probably maintain a comfy DD and shave 200 or so lbs off the car. Plus the aftermarket stuff is higher quality so it will enhance overall performance.

You will drop about 100lbs just by going with Weld wheels and skinnies...
