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.

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.

I made a little list of things I can do to shed another 220+ pounds for less than a $1000

...And another 200 for about $5000!

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
