If Only ...
If Only the Alero was not a lead sled and weighed 3000 + ,it would be kick ass even more. Imagion if the Alero was like 2500 pounds, it would fly. Look at the Grand Nationals, they weighed about 2800 pounds and their 6 cylinder was ballsie. I was talking to a guy at the track that has a Firebird and he was amazed at how much the Alero Weighs. What idiot created the Alero, at it's current weight? Jeez. I know I am venting like a PMSing school girl, but still. Our cars would be easy 14's stock cars if they where not massive fat asses! Thoughts?

You can still make heavy cars fast. It just takes a little more power. Besides, the Alero isn't that heavy for it's size. It isn't considered a compact car, it's more a midsize, so in that respect, 3000lbs. isn't all that bad. Plus, with the Ecotec it's 2900lbs. It can be a fast car depending on what you decide to do with the engine.

Im not tryin to talk crap here but, orion did u get smoked by a ricer at the track? I understand the alero is a slightly heavy car, but u know big girls need love too. Put ur car on a diet and it should do ok. I noticed on your other posts that you have a considerable amount of mods on your car. Keep the work up or you can always get a sportscar. Just a thought.

a 1,000 hp motor weighs 800 pounds so your alero is back to a lead sled again!
