True enough!

You just want to be careful when you get a text message from Booder. If you're having lunch with someone, you might not want them to see what you receive. LOL

I know the frames arent that heavy, but take into consideration that everything will get shortened, frame, bed, gas tank (if not a fuel cell replacement, brake lines, driveshaft, parking brake cable, fuel lines, tail light harness etc

I guarantee there is atleast 200-300 pounds of savings in there. Plus not to mention the shorter wheel base means less driveshaft wrap up before a launch. and less parasitic power loss.
