They weigh right at 3,040 lbs. Mine weighed in at 2886 the other day with out me in it and almost on empty.

I always wondered that...I can't believe my car is that much heavier...I never would have thunk there was that much more garb on the LX and GT's...my GT weighed 3200, my LX weighs 3180 without me in it.

My LX comes in at 2700#

That's awesome, 88! I wish I could get mine that low. I'm at 2900 with a 1/4 tank of gas w/o me in the car.

If you guys don't mind,
What do you all think my car weighes???
I have the following:
92 notchback
Pin on hood
Pin on Deck lid
No sway bars (front or rear) or front bumper reinforcement
South side control arms
Alumin. Drive shaft
C-4 trans
351 base engine w/ Tfs heads and vitor intake w/ carb.
Alumin. 10 gallon fuel cell.
Rear seat delete
10 point cage w/ x-braces made out of mild steel.
No A/C or power steering
Flaming river steering kit.
Fluidyne Rad. with spal electric fans
Weld racing wheels 15x3/15x8
All M/T tires.... drag race only tires
EVERYTHING behind the dash is GONE. Completley gutted. Just the face is there. No radio or speakers too.
No sound deadner except for under the carpet.
When I go to the track I will let you know who was the closest.

Thanks

OK guys, what do I need to do to reduce my weight? My cars aren't strip racers...my Saleen is a nice weather driver and my LX is my dd. How do I reduce weight. My Saleen has alum heads and a fiberglass hood...isn't that good for about 100#? I admit, I weighed ar a farmers grain weigh station, are those accurate?

I do not want to remove my seat because I don't have any filler to make it look clean.

Dark_5.0 · 02-21-2004, 12:43 AM

I have done alot of weight reduction.

Aluminum heads
removed rear bumper
removed front sway bar
removed power steering
removed all a/c components.
rear end vibration dampener. (aka...dog bone.)
fiberglass hood.

I have also added weight.

sub frame connectors.
drive shaft safety loop.
heavy @ss electric fan
3 core radiator

I have went as far as I am willing to go with weight reduction. Some people remove all of the sound deadening material and front bumper and get a tubular K-member etc...

The prize is knowing your the man!

But anyways thanks for replying, I really appreciate it.
2650 ummm....wow..I was thinking more like 2950 but maybe thats why I am not hooking up any more, but not really a comparison (street driving on slicks)
Now I am more eager to get it on a scale!!!
