Yeah, My car is about 3490. 95Z leather seats, a/c delete,egr, air delete, no swaybar or brackets and the typical stuff that people remove. I'm looking to pretty easily take another 120#'s off of it. I haven't gutted it,it still has all the seats and stereo. I know a lot of people will prolly dispute my claim but that's what it weighs.

It seems that if we get rid of most of the luxuries and accessories, we can get pretty light.
My friends 2000 GMC truck w/LS1, cam, exhaust, and 4.10s - picked up 4 tenths in the 1/8th after we gutted the interior and AC.

my fully loaded formula non ws6 weighed in at 3545 with me in it.
stuff taked out
-spare tire and jack
stuff added
-my little *** adds 150 pounds, plus a full nitrous bottle and nitrous setup, and maybe a half tank of gas
not bad for a t-top car with leather, and all power options and a/c and all that good ****.
so without me in it it should weigh in at under 3400 which i think is pretty decent

Got a base weight of 3460 the other day. Lets see what i can get her down to...
I'm aiming for 3250, I'd think 200lbs. wont be that hard. I'll go on a diet as well cuz i aint exactly a lightweight at 220lbs myself.

3450 in my car with just the spare tire and jack out of it. Car has power windows, locks, Bose stereo, t-tops, full 3" cat-back, etc. This was of course without my 185 lb. butt in it.
