Default Why is my SS so heavy?

2000 SS It has:

No back seat:
Tubular K member:
No AC:
NO AIR:
NO EGR:
Aftermarket Converter:
Headers/Loudmouth Exhaust:
ZR1 Wheels:
No Wipers/Resevior:
Corbeau CR1 seats:
After market control arms/panhard bar:
No jac/spare:

It weighs 3320 w/ 1/2 tank gas

I weighed my 98 Z28 a year ago stock with subframe connecters, jac and spare and it weighed 3400!

I thought it should be heavier with subframes, jac and spare, 98 fuel tank, non-fiberglass hood????

Why is my SS so heavy?

That's normal for a 2000 SS with the weight reduction you have done.

The stock curb weight for a 2000 SS listed is 3439lbs. I don't think there is much of a difference from 1998-2000.

I'm sure your wheels weight close to 200 pounds. Mine did.
