You can typically get 8-10lb out of each of the bumper supports depending on how much cheese you want.
The difference in weight between a cloth vs leather seat is minimal. About 6lb total for the entire set on a camaro. I've weighed cloth vs leather. Power seat is about 6lb difference vs none power.

It would be dirt simple if you had the maual tracks mm
Hell they can go into the 31xx range with stock k, control arms, hood, full interior, full hvac system ect.
Just gotta pay attention to what your doin, choose parts wisely and don't weigh it down with sub frame connectors, iron blocks, engine covers, strut tower braces, heavier than stock wheels and strut tower braces.

Sure man....sorry to mention strut tower brace twice ....lol. I got carried away there.
Last time i had my car on the scales it was 3074lb on the stock ss wheels. That was with no hood tho. Full hvac, full stereo, cruise, full interior, 9", both sway bars, lightened stock k/a arms. There is weight everywhere on these cars. Just gotta look for it and sometimes work for it a little.
Things like a clutch can save significant weight. My clutch is 41lb lighter than the ls7 clutch everyone thorows in these thing. Battery can save 35lb....or you can move it to the back and add weight. Which is not necessarily a bad plan. Cat back can save 20+lb over the stock stuff not to mention the full system that can lead to more weight savings. Right there is about 100lb alot of people pay no mind to at all.

HioSS mentioned 6 lbs.
Man, you guys are making my foxbody feel heavy haha. I'd give it a diet too but we have mobile police inspection units that make sure you have factory impact beams in the front and back

I have a hard top formula, which is supposed to be the lightest F of them all. I have always questioned that though, as the headlights and wing on the formula are heavier than camaro parts. I can only assume people mean in stock form the camaro is heavier. It will be interesting to see what mine weighs this time out with a very small converter and headers instead of manifolds. Then next will be putting on my gutted doors with lexan, coilovers, and tubular A arms, hope to get it to 2800# without cutting anything.

Now I see that. Good looking out. I love the fact that a fourth gen can weigh alot less with some work here and there. It'll put a fourth gen in third gen camaro weight territory.

With a aluminum na ls motor in it you coukd drop 300ish lbs off that and still have everything in it.
From working on them both i would say the difference is minimal. The 4gen has some built in reinforments but also has fiberglass doors & decklid/ plastic fenders. The old iron sbc would have to be heavier in the 3rd gen but the interior is likely lighter than a 4gen with less sound deadening.
