OK, so no cares at this point apparently, lets just gut the cars and see how fast they can go, got it.

now you're getting it. the lighter the car, the faster it goes, the faster it stops, and the better it handles. also better gas mileage. a lot of weight can be taken out of the car for free, so i say why not?
no backseats, no carpet, no bumper supports, no spare tire/jack, stuff like that.

I was just curious, I know there is no "official" record.
Race cars have their rules, which invariably mean everything gets pulled out of the car that doesn't make it go faster.
However, my car is a street car, and since GM built it with the lightest crap possible, it seems like everything I do to it makes it heavier. I'm having to take crap out just to maintain factory weight. Improvements adding lbs:
13" front brakes, bigger sway bars, HD driveshaft, HD rearend, wider tires and wheels, subframe connectors, HD torque arm.
I want it to go faster too, but without being a nice car to cruise around it when I'm not at the track

well..... my car was a full weight 6spd with a few bolt ons - i went 12.5's @ 112 w/ a 1.8x 60' i'm sure if i had a better tire and suspension, the car would have gone 12.3/12.2 as it was. then i could have added elec water pump, underdrive pulley, ls-6 intake manifold, and a dyno tune. possibly seen 11's in a full weight 6spd car. i had a 12 bolt and torque arm too. so it was above factory weight i guess.

stock weight 12.074@114 Stock 02 LS1 long block. Valve covers never removed, 14k original miles. No boost of any kind. Most bolt ons. very good track conditions and cold air 12.074 @ 114. MT 17" dr, 4.10, LCA, PHB, LT's-cut out, pulley, 3-button clutch. Spare tire and jack only weight removed. I to am just a little curious about full weight times.
I went 12.4xs @ 113mph with 1.9x sixty foot times with the stock 10 bolt and 3.42s. Car was full-weight except for back seats, spare tire and jack with the mods in sig. except for the 9". Now I have a 9", adj. torque arm, LCAs, and can't go to the track because it is still messed up from the hurricane...

I don't have time to find the post where you list all the weight reduction items you have done, but at 2960 lbs race weight, you have to have taken out most if not all of the passenger comfort and safety features of the car. Just guessing here but I would bet no passenger seat, no passenger air bag, no abs, no AC, no heater, no rear seats, no carpet, no radio, no passenger seat belts, no bumpers, no door panels, etc. - Tell me I'm wrong, because if I am then you have a great method for dropping weight and we all want to know it.
Just because you drive it on the street, doesn't make it a street car to most of us. Your car is very fast for a bolt on car
I can take my wife for a ride in my car, and my kids, with the AC on, listening to the radio, and god forbid if we got into an accident everyone would have their seatbelts on.
It's all good man, but I as well as others are interested it what has been achieved with cars that would appear stock even to those practiced in the art of deception

Having rear seats would be irresponsible in a car with any kind of roll bar/cage with a crossbar.
But i know what you mean about trying to go fast with all the creature comforts. the only problem is you can still take weight off and kep those comforts.
To me "full weight" is when you have pulled absolutely nothing out for weight savings. No matter if you have added weight due to different mods.
But to each his own.
lack of creature comforts and safety equipment don't make a car a race car. my uncle drives a jolopy truck with no power steering, no a/c, no air bags, no power steering, no radio. Do you guys consider that a race car?
