Mine was 3616 at epping with my 275 lb *** in it. since then, I've removed the carpet backing, speakers, and passenger's seat. Probably 3550 I"d guess with me in it. Cage's gonna add some weight back though... have to find more stuff to take out.. but unless I start with bumper supports and whatnot I don't think there's much left.. I'm gonna have to start buying lightweight parts. probably starting with lw brakes, abs and power brake delete, a set of kirkey alum seats, tcs and cruise control.. that should lop a good 100 lbs back out of it, about what I figure a 10 pt chromoly will probably weigh give or take

not really

mine weighs in at 2920 and I haven't cut up the car to achieve that.

Still need drag brakes, kmember and A-arms and manual steering.2820 once it's down without cutting a hole. This is a Trans Am. I'm inclined to think you could break 2800 with a hardtop stripper camaro.

No suspension or chassis parts.........yet.
