Thanks CJ I am glad you are enjoying the show

Yes it is amazing how light these cars are but what is even more amazing is how much lighter they can be My goal was to reduce weight by 200 lbs which would put the car right around 1,000lbs even. The only problem is I am adding weight in a few key areas. So now what was looking like a very realistic goal is starting to get much more challenging. So I am being forced to get real creative in my thinking. In many respects this is a very good thing because I am exploring new areas that more than likely I would not have paid much attention to.

The more I explore the more I am finding out is that darn near every part on the Centurion can be made lighter. The majority of the time there is all ready an alloy part available for direct drop in replacement from the Triumph parts bin which makes it so easy. If money was not a concern I do believe you could get these Centurions under 900lbs at the same time increasing there power, strength and safety.

I don't believe I am going to be the person to take the Centurion to its extreme fringes. I have so much else going on in life currently but I will do some things that will further peak interest and add to there infamy lol I will do my part in making sure the Centurion goes down in history as one of the most fuel efficient cars to grace our roads and the coolest one at that
