you should be right around there. with my car, '98 Z w/ t-tops with the same stuff removed, but i still had stock k-member, and stock shocks/springs, i weighed in at exactly 3200lbs. so you might be less.

Wow, really? I was about to order a set of Bogart RR10s to help lighten things up a bit more, but maybe I'll hold off. Awesome! The car does feel much easier to move now and my midrange and top end are unusually quicker. Maybe you're right, I just didn't realize how much weight I dropped. A Sparco fighter seat , fiberglass hood, and Bogarts should fit nicely next year. Thanks.

my car was with pro stars when it weighed 3200lbs even, and i'm a "athletic" 165lbs, hahah. that was with cloth front seats and no rears. i also had the heat shields off from under the car and had a true dual exhaust but it probably weighed the same as my previous hooker catback. good luck man!

I would think you are pretty close to 3200 with the work you have done.

Don't take no ones word for it, throw it on a scale....

I don't know how I'd go about finding a scale. Can we use those scales at the truck stops? How did you guys weigh your cars?

yeah, that's what i used. the one is a couple blocks from my house and is a Golden Guernsey Milk distributor and i just went up and asked if i could hop on the scale quick. no prob, takes 5 seconds, and then drove off.

I have close to that (I have carpet, but no padding - I have a 6-pt chromoly rollbar - tubular K- and A-arms). I'm at 3400 w/me (I weigh 165) per the scales at NPR in LA, with virtually no gas.

I have no A/C compressor or condenser, no front bumper, no front swaybar, no rear seats, no spare, no washer reservoir, and just dual bullets for mufflers (no Y-pipe/catback). That's on Bogarts with ET Drags on the back.

So you just really won't know until you weigh in...
