80's factory lightweights?

[Late BrakeU2]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: old5.0</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Let's say it's 1987, and you head down to the local dealer to order a new Mustang/Camaro/Firebird/Turbo Regal/whatever. Your plan is to go racing, and with that in mind you attempt to order it with the sound deadener, insulation and seam sealer deleted. Is there a legal reason that the factory would have refused this order?

I've been trying to get a definitive answer on this for a couple of years, but nothing 100% concrete. One guy told me he thought there might be some kind of liability under some aspect of the consumer protection laws, but couldn't point out anything specific.

Thoughts? Comments? Blind speculation? </div></div>

Relative to road racing only,specific to factory built cars, the RPO ILE was introduced for fbods in 1988. It was a &quot;delete&quot; option with special components for track purpose, they were lightweights only by virtue of being stripper models-no special parts to reduce OA weight(like the 14-15 Z28)
