01 blue bullitt

I have a 98 camaro with chromoly k member, upper and lower control arms, chromoly drop spindles, front and rear strange brakes, mwc 9", front and rear coilovers, no front bumper support, manual rack, manual master cylinder, no rear seat, no spare, no padding under carpet, corbeau racing seats, no cage, drag wheels, no ac, remote water pump, no heat, and car is around 2950 which still seems heavy to me without me in it.

What else can I do other than:
Lexan front and rear
Light weight hatch

Sound pretty light to me for a f body. Rear hatch and lexan will net you around 80-100lbs? That's 2850ish. Gonna have to dig deep to get more out. Maybe door bar delete or those sweet 6le carbon fiber doors. All kinds of brackets, shields, undercoat etc can come out if you haven't already rid them

I don't see how some guys are 2900 lbs with them in the car.. I don't see where the weight is coming from.

Is the car a t-top body? If so my carbon roof will drop a possible 80 pounds. The Optic Armor front and rear itself is a 50 pound drop.

Extreme weight reduction is possible, I can do 2300 pound rollers with the right combo. You get past a certain point(and you are very close) and the weight reduction becomes very costly.

I realized you've covered quite a bit already but Ive got some weight reduction info in this thread that you may be interested in. I'm at 3040 currently with full factory interior, 18" wheels and nothing hole sawed. Ive done some unique things like only running one fan, weighing different torque arms, cutting the spare tire tub, cutting the lower radiator support etc.

This +

Lexan windows, cutting out the rear seat brackets and seatbelt brackets if you haven't done so. Getting a heat gun out and scraping out the excess seam sealer,

If you plan on putting in a cage you you can pull the door pars and trim the front fender rails. theres some metal you can trim in the bay too. As MWC said you can go to their carbon roof and cut some weight out. Also do minitubs and cut out the top wells.

You're basically at the point where the weight reduction is going to start costing some coin

How much is the roof Eric? I am wanting to drop about 150 lbs or so

Remove front fenders and trim those fender aprons. Also can cut the cowl out right at the windshield. Door bars, aftermarket hood like vfn. Radio and speakers.

I have a vfn bolt on hood on the car. I feel 2950 is still pretty heavy for everything that's been done.

What kind of exhaust system? Always some weight to lose there, did you take the door bars out? I assume you removed all the park brake and handle and cables? Pin on you could have lost some weight, I removed the hinges and latch and cable and those hinges were heavy.

Yea Studderin said he lost a decent amount going pin on. I'm gonna cut my cowl too.

You could go to a nice merge y pipe and run a race muffler right off of it and drop some decent weight from no CB. Most likely what I'll do If I never go turbo.

Cutting those fender aprons are easy but only save you 5-10lbs, in the end it all adds up.

I went with a bolt on flat vfn hood. It was right at 20lbs lighter than the stock hood. Didn't go with a pin on since everyone I talked to that had one said it was a nightmare. Maybe one day if I go full race car.

I think my Sunoco was 28lbs lighter than my Z28 hood

I had the stock hood weighing right around 48lbs with latch and brackets. VFN was 26lbs. figure the brackets are around 2lbs. My scale is not the greatest tho

Power seat go manual. Posi track go spool. Remove rear amp wiring harness, all 6 speakers, antenna, radio. Remove ebrake handle lines and shoes. Airbag computer under the console. Cut out t top tub, spare tire tub, driver side tub. Cut front inner fenders, cut front frame rails. Easy weight everywhere.

Mine was 52lbs. I only reused one of my struts

This is my next project while my car is down. I moved and costs when up so my build slowed to a crawl and I bought a GTO which I've been buying parts for to make cam only so that hasn't helped since I now have two projects lol

So I'm doing all the free **** I can do right now. Just gotta find someone that can weld up the holes once I'm done.

Everything listed here will remove quite a bit of weight. I'm just gonna use a bluetooth speaker for my phone when I want to listen to music in my car.

Chromoly is nice but most places recommend it for track use only.
