        How do you plan to do that?

        My car is basically stock with tubular LCAs and PHB, no spare tire, and a US Exotics hood.

        Kolin's car is stock with stock suspension (besides the springs) and it weighs 3480

        I can see ditching the back seats would get some good weight out, but still no where near 3300 - enlighten me son

          You could easily get your car into the 31xxlb range. 3300 is pretty easy without taking anything important out.

                Prooooove it. I forgot to mention - no AIR or EGR on both our cars (yup, race cars!)

                      Whats so BS about that? Other than the seats being gone the interior would look stock. Exterior would look 100% stock.

                      Lets see Ryan put his car on the scales. Even with an iron block I think you'll be surprised. What looks so "race car" about his car besides the bigs and littles?

                      It will be proven Fred. My car will make 20 less RWHP than yours and go a over half a second faster.

                        Mike isn't BSing you guys. Take out the rear seats, the rear seat belts (which weigh as much as the seats you just took out), and the spare tire & jack... and that alone will give your car an entirely different feel to it. Ask me how I know

                        Theres still a bunch of useless crap I plan to take out of mine to lighten it up! This has been exactly my goal, a serious diet without the gutted look. Im not going to say 3100 pounds is easy but i definitely believe 3300.

                          look at joes anni, that car has been stripped down to the bear minimum and you couldnt tell just from looking at it. his might not weigh 3100 with a cage and what not but def cut a whole buncha fat off without going sheet metal door panels and 2 kirkeys no carpet look.

                            Way back when, an old racer told me "If you want to take 100 lbs out of your car, look for 100 places where you can take out a pound."
                            When in doubt, Whip it out !
