3,540 lbs.... Weighed my car today, 3,540 lbs without a driver. I knew it was bad, but christ. And I gotta put a bigger battery in still, theres ANOTHER 20 lbs. Unreal. If I gutted this thing it would still weigh 3300+. This was with my stock ZR1 style ss rims, so it might be a few lbs lighter with the Pro stars. But I don't even have my door bars in either, so theres another 20 or so lbs. And my exhaust was off! Holy crap! I wanna cry......
My fat *** is just the icing on the cake.

holy hell, mine weighed 3545 with me in it with all my nitrous ****, full bottle and that good stuff. leather interior with all power options.
im trying to get my car down to low 3400s or maybe even 3300s with me in it with a 6 point roll bar.
seems like you have an auto, full tank of gas and a mild steel cage

Yes, the car is an A4.
Chromoly roll bar (4 point right now).
This was with the rear seats/belts/hardware pulled, no front sway bar, no front or rear bumper supports, no spare or jack, about 7 or 8 gallons of fuel in the cell, lightweight carpet, no exhaust to speak of, fiberglass hood, but otherwise still loaded (A/C, cruise, stock stereo, etc).
The scale is certified, and the car actually weighs what I thought it would.
Aside from the blower/ic/piping, it has an iron block.
I'm real close to just yanking the A/C and heat, and whatever else I can find. But it is a street car, not a race car.
It ran 10.42 at 135 at around 3800 lbs race weight, with a very soft launch (didn't go WOT until late 2nd gear for fear of tire spin). Sucks to think what its capable of with less weight and harder launch. But the power and weight would destroy my 4L60E and 12 bolt posi.

I saw this thread and had to go weigh my car as I have never weighed this one before. It is a 99 Z28, hardtop with cloth interior and stock 16x8 five spokes. The only things I have removed for weight reduction are the rear seats, spare tire & jack, front sway bar, and all of the air conditioning. I have QA1 "R"s up front (supposed to shave 20lbs over stock), a chrome moly torque arm, chrome moly lower control arms, a chrome moly panhard rod, and mild steel boxed subframe connectors. It weighs 3250 with four gallons of 93 octane in it.
