No diet pills, fat burners, or crash diets. Valkyrie Autosport’s competition Nissan 350z sheds over 100lbs. with Seibon Carbon!

The team was in dire need to shed some weight off their 350z after results from their first NASA NorCal event showed they were running at 10.2:1 weight/hp adjusted out of a class allowed 9:1! Other vehicles in their class were weighing in at 2600-2800lbs. with driver (they must meet weight with driver). The team knew something had to be done if they wanted to stay competitive.

For maximum weight loss, Valkyrie Autosport opted for Seibon Carbon’s dry carbon TS-style hooddry carbon doors, and trunk lid.
Weight savings in total for those three pieces was over 100lbs.! The car now sits 2,900lbs. with driver. The team plans on shedding the last 50lbs. by using aluminum hat rotors and clutch.

Valkyrie Autosport’s 350z will make its debut at their next event on June 13-14 at Buttonwillow Raceway.
Stay tuned for results on the event!
