My back halved car is no where near done. I do have several buddy's, and old Camaro's & Nova's are usually between 2600-3100 depending on glass nose & doors, alum tin, BB, SB ect ect.

My slow car is all stock chassis, with old style heavy glass nose & doors and it's 2805 lb with a BBC. I know it's no help, but my fast car is ~2100 lb. Love a light car.

I'll be getting some up pretty soon. I'm gonna go up to Clear One and get a windshield and maybe rear glass for it so I'm doing everything I can think of to keep the weight off.
