Geez, I wish that my car was that "piggy"... Granted, I know that it's not a Fox body, but the one time I weighed my car (when it was almost completely stock) the scale showed 3750 with me in it!!

With the aluminum engine, the 'glass hood & a couple of other tricks, I'm hoping to get it under 3500 (and that's without any forced induction goodies!)...
