[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6862931, member: 549629"] Yes, some drag racers use ballast strategically, but this situation is FAR from that. Those drag cars you are talking about have gone through extensive scrutiny to reduce over all vehicle weight (Ive seen people remove 75% of a frame's material by drilling a million holes in it, for example). You make it sound like walling off your muscle car is a performance enhancing technique, nothing could be further from the truth. That car has had an extensive amount of weight added to it, basically centered on the car, not centered directly over the rear axle like the ballast you referred to. And that's a lot more weight than you would use for wheel ballast even if it was placed over the rearend. The only negative comment I have on the install is the SRT logo appears to cover over a significant amount of the port. If nothing else, this could create port noise. Ive seen this mounting location used a lot and it always makes me scratch my head. [/QUOTE]
