post some pics when you add the wheels. I've been wanting to see how the look on the 5ths.

Old bump, I'm probably around 3680 w/o driver too, will have to wait until spring to weigh it. Last time I did it was 3740 and I've taken about 60 out since then.

3700 raceweight would be great, I'd settle for 3800 though.

I'm guessing the stock whee/tires could be pretty heavy, though I'm not sure how much weight can be dropped with aftermarket wheels in the same size.

I weighed my zl1 wheels.. 20s with f1 series tires.. I jacked the car up to put the skip shift eliminator on. And decided to weigh the front and rear rim and tire.. fronts weigh 60 a piece and rears are 62.5 a piece.. couldn't believe how much they weigh.. really looking to switch to some 17s all around or 17s in front and 15s in rear

I have 18's front and back, dropped some weight doing that. But I plan to swap to 17's:



Last time I weighed the car it had junk in it, all the trunk factory stuff, 20's up front. I think I'm around 3700 w/o driver now. I have a few more ideas:

I pulled my passenger seat and rear and hit the track again...

11.90 > 11.84. I've read the seats are 78-90 lbs total. The drop in ET sounds right to me.

I'm not pulling bumper supports ever. Only weight drop I have would be to go from my rear 18's to 17's, and run a smaller battery as the stocker is reportedly 42 lbs. I have a smaller 15 lb one here but I DD my car, was a little nervous.

If I can find a local scale I'll go weigh my car before I put the seats back in.
