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.
My car is 3190 with 5 gallons of gas. (3350 with me in it) It's a 99 hardtop with cloth interior.
Items Removed:
A/C
Rear seats
Spare tire & jack
Front sway bar
EGR
All of the exhaust (only mufflers off the collectors)
Lightweight items:
UMI chrome moly torque arm
Spohn LCA relocation brackets
Spohn chrome moly lower control arms
Spohn chrome moly panhard rod
Spohn chrome moly 1" rear sway bar
QA1 "R" front drag shocks w/ 275lb springs
Competition Engineering rear drag shocks w/ stock, cut springs
15x4 Centerline Convo Pros w/ Kumho 165R15 radials
15x7.5 Centerline Convo Pros w/ 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street radials
Added weight:
UMI boxed mild steel subframe connectors
I am taking out the front bumper support and throwing a pin on hood this weekend. I will be doing lightweight carpet and a chrome moly k-member by the end of the season as well

Damn Matt, you still have a lot of weight left to pull out of that thing. I am only at 3050 with 4 gallons of gas. With my next round of stuff left to pull out I should be right at 2900 in daily driver form.

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.

Stuff yanked out:

CM drive shaft
Spohn rear Sway Bar
BMR TQ arm

I haven't decided whether or not to try to lighten 'er up. Mid 11s NA and 30mpg w/ all of the creature comforts last year. I changed the top end set up this year so we'll see what she's got when I get to do some tuning.

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.
