Default What Do You Weigh?

Just curious what everyone weighs in at, and how agressive did you get with weight reduction to meet that weight?...

I found out today that my 98 SS weighs in at 3414 without me in it....I thought that was fairly svelte for a Loaded T-Top car... (No AC currently)

you had to do some weight reduction, headers save weight, did you lose your emissions equipment?

a lot of people say full weight but as soo as you do a stall or headers you are saving weight.

3650 with me in it and a 1/4 tank, I weigh 180. Lost weight by pulling the ac, using a tubular K-member, and the drag wheels. Added weight with an iron block, turbo ****, 2.5 gallon meth tank and a ford 9".
