I am trying to get an idea of a typical race weight for a fourth gen. Looking for some input from the lighter guys...trying to find out how light you can make one.

I have mine down to around 3260 with me in it...

 

I'm thinking my TA has a good 360 pounds removed not including the weight reduction of the drag wheels, but idk what it weighs exactly lol

 

You should really be looking at car weight because drivers can very over 100lb. My car can be as little as 3000lb(still complete w/ ac, cruise, all seats looks like a normal f-body) and I weigh 160.

 

under 2700lbs race ready without driver.

 

Depends on what you want to do with the car. I have seen weights from 3600 to 2800 with driver. There is a lot of good info on here reguarding weight reduction if you spend lots of time searching and reading every post on the subject.

Currently my car is sitting at 2900 lbs without driver. I'm shooting for 2700-2750.

 

2680 last year 2850ish with driver. Since then switched to slick over radials, swapped the posi for a spool, ditched factory fans for slimfan. But also added n2o bottle and a fullsize battery in the rear.

 

Getting to 3100# raceweight is fairly easy. After that it becomes more of how much $$$ you want to spend and of course the time and effort.

 

What is the easy way to get it to 3100lbs? I need to start trimming the fat on my car.

 

How did you manage such a low weight while keeping everything?

 

Ive been searching and cutting so I hope I get there..

 

3445 with me and half tank.

took out some more **** to offset the iron block thats going in

 

lol i so need to start cutting weight from mine im expecting around 3650 race weight lol.

 

Lots of little this's and thats . To look at the car you would think it was full weight or near full weight. Still has inner bumpers, windshield washer tank, abs and sound deadening.

 

trying to figure out your "creative weight reduction"

 

There is pics of it in other threads. He lightened alot of the factory parts. Looks clean and creative

 

Care to elaborate? I would love to follow suit. My SS is going to be one heavy bitch! LQ4, 4l80e, 9" rear! Please enlighten us with your wisdom

 

Im 3006 with out me init with almost a full tank. Th400 9in ls1 strange brakes full tubular susp strange shocks pinto rack, billet specialtie wheels and a wolfe ms 6pt. I rewired the car from scratch and kept it all to a minium still have a 10in thunderform sub ozite carpet and corbeu seats... Ill be doin alot of cutting and welding overthe winter in creative ways and changing to a moly 10pt with moly sfcs and kirkeys and a bunch of lil things i just didnt wanna do so i could get back to track quickly

 

Click my build thread in my sig, I cut a lot out and spent a decent amount of money as well..

 

Im not sure where my weight is at but all that I have removed from the car will go towards my goal race weight of sub-3300lbs...that's with a iron block, turbo (a2w) and cage (8.50 for now but maybe a 25.5 in the future) I'd imagine a na/n2o setup can really get down there in the sub-3k lb range, good luck!
