Well I finally weighed my car today with about a 1/2 tank or a little under. Came in at 3580 lbs with me inside the car. I did however forget to chuck some **** out that I normally would dump for the track like the front sway sitting in the back seat area (lol) and speaker box and some other *****. Might equal 30-35lbs with that trash out. So I figure 3550lb is the actual at track weight. Now to shed 50-75lbs??? I figure my fat *** could stand to lose 30lbs but what else can I do with out becoming a stripper car? Lighter seats?

Oh I still need cage so that will add 70lbs back on, doh!!!

 

My race weight is 3055lbs. LOL

 

There is so much excess fat in these cars it is amazing... Take a look at the sticky in this forum for a few ideas, or just have a look around at some of the local lightweight cars the next time you are at the track.

 

My 235lb frame does not help either , lol!

 

For the past couple of months I thought mine weighed 2980lbs w/o driver but my friend said he was inside when he weighed it. He is about 160-170 so that should bring mine down to about 2810 or so. I have Aerospace front and rear brakes on order which should drop about another 40-50lbs. I need it to be around 2750 so when my fat 250 lb *** gets in I will be right at 3000lbs.

 

God dam that's light! I just want the car to weigh 3500 with me & the cage in it. I figure if I drop down to 200lbs and the car weighs 3300 lbs I'll be happy but I refuse to strip her down . I want it to be capable of DD if worse came to worse.

 

Aw just go ahead and strip her down. lol

 

I daily drive mine. 2960 with my 200 lb *** in it.

to radical for me but your car is light!

 

Weight is free HP, but since your on my level, I'm pushin 230, you got to make HP. My car with me in it is now at a staggering 3410lbs.
