Holy **** I need to put my car on a diet! It is 3570 without me, just about 3800 with me. I took out the AC, ABS, Rear Seats, Traction Control, and Cruise. Added 9", 6 pt. bar.. Still have stock K Member and A arms and bumper supports. I guess those need to be gone soon!!

My stripper weighed 3300 with 1/4 tank with full interior, spare tire, AC, PS, etc. Had the EGR and AIR out and the front bumper bar removed. PS is now gone so it should be a couple lbs. into the 3200's.

Mine is a stipper, but since I am slow I don't need a bar and I still have stock brakes w/ ABS (not for long), stock K-member and A-arms, Door Bars, stock hood (modified to be pin-on), I haven't cut out any un-used brackets yet, and don't forget it's an LT1 so the motor weighs more then an alum LS1, and it weighed in at 2985 with me in it (200#) this weekend. But, since I blew out my stock front brakes this weekend I should be lighter after I get a new setup under there I am hoping for < 2900# RW for my next race...

I meant stripper as in the zero option cars, with manual windows/locks, no traction control/rear defrost/foglights, etc., my car's mostly factory still, but 2985 with you in it is impressive!

Yeah I realized that, after re-reading it but I was up early this morning and only half read it...

Yeah my car is pretty light, but the weight will start being added to it soon enough, by next year I will have a cage, more safety stuff, and a 9", but then again I'll have more power then too...
