"Billet" as in aluminum?That book https://kirkhammotorsports.com/book_aoe/ I linked was done for Larry Ellison. It has a billet aluminum chassis. It's worth looking at each section to see what's possible with cubic dollars.The 289's weigh in about 2200 pounds as is. The 427's a bit heavier.I couldn't find the weight of the billet car. I imagine it's heavier than a standard 427. Yes aluminum is lighter but there is a lot more of it there than a few steel tubes.Did they even weigh it?
