I had mine in the 3200s and all that was in it was the driver's seat, with a carbon fiber hood. I'm sure if you lost the A/C, got a carbon fiber deck lid, lighter doors, lighter seat, lighter wheels, etc. It'd be possible.

The whole assembly is probably 30 to 40ish, guessing.

Why bother? You drop all that weight and you have an uncomfortable,unstreetable car. With some bolt ons you will be in the 13's. Dropping weight, you will still be in the 13's unless you break open the engine.

Mine was still pretty damn comfy, granted I put the seats and junk back in when I was done.

And I was inching towards 12s, lighter wheels, stickier tires, spring binders, and not shifting early would've gotten me there. I hate I didn't get to do it.
