Mine currently weighs 3575 in race trim with me in it. It's about to go on a diet though.

I need to weigh mine, I am sick of people trying to tell me it's 3200lbs. The only things I have deleted from my car are the sprare/jack & front sway bar.

I have a tubular K, and Weld's - but all of my suspension parts are mild steel = heavier than the stock stamped pieces.

I know what I'm doing next week.
