I would like to hit a raceweight around there, I drive my car on the street a lot, and I know that the bumper supports are taken out to get there.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I haven't weighed my car yet, but in the summer when its nice out I ride on slicks/skinnes all the time with weld rims, that drops close to 100 off the car...

Heres the other stuff I've taken out...

A/C, and all the other stuff that comes out with it...30 pounds
Spare/Jack...37 pounds I believe
Rear Seats/Cushions/Seatbelts....27 pounds
Front sway bar, mine was a 21mm, weighed close to 20lbs...

I plan on doing leightweight carpet from Speed Inc. K-members, A-arms...

I will weigh my car soon to see what its at...

I still have both bumpers, A/C, and both airbags and I've reached that (3300) raceweight. I suggest you look at colonel's weight reduction thread.

2000SILVERTA

Ive removed the swaybar, passenger seats, rear speaker panels, amp, and spare tire and jack. I have a Hawker battery, no windshield washer fluid, 1/4 tank of gas. That with skinnies up front and draglites in the rear puts me at 3330# in a TA. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

There really isn't much to it, especially if you have a stripper car, and if you yourself don't weigh much over 200 lbs. I have not removed anything out of my car that is saftey related, like bumpers supports and air bags. My list is simlar to 2000SILVERTA, except I don't have a light weight battery. Always run the car around 1/4 or a little less if you can, gas weighs A LOT. Seats in for daily driving, out of the car for the track. Sway bar was the first item that came off my car. And most of those people around 3300# are running drag wheels, which take off quite a bit of weight. Oh yeah and colonel's list is something you do want to check out. Hope this helps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I've removed sway bar, bumper supports, jack and spare. With heavy chrome zr1'(11" 315's in back) and zero, i mean zero gas..afraid I wouldn't make it home I weighed 3520#. With seats out, weld wheels and such I can get close to 3400. I still have all airbags, carpet, AC heater etc.

Check the weights on my two cars in the sig. The 98 is loaded up with everything except T tops and has alot of suspension stuff on it. The 2002 is a stripper car and has no "added weight" both cars had 1/4 tank of gas and only the spare tire and jack removed, those weights are with my 185 pound *** in them.

OK well then why the hell is my ride so heavy?? It's a 98 w/ the sport appearance package, ASR, leather, sub and amp, spare removed, rear seats and belt removed, 16" chrome 5 stars, 3/4 tank of gas, WITHOUT me in it weight 3440 on a certifed CAT scale... its a pig!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I weighed mine at HRP shortly after I installed SFCs on it. It was 3550 with me (110lbs fully dressed with helmet) in it in full factory trim and a full tank of gas. The scale at HRP has been broken every single time i've gone to the track from thereafter. I think by removing the spare tire/jack, front sway bar, rear seat, a bunch of gas, and putting on some weld wheels I could get down to 3300# with me in it.
