Weighed the car today at work. Lighter than I thought. 3242 w/ driver. figure 205 for me so that leaves my car ticking off the scales at 3037 lbs. 3/4 tank of gas and some crap in the trunk.

So I'm thinking right at 3000 when I pull the pass seat and trunk stuff out. Weight reduction is a rear seat delete and tubular K-member. Thats it.

I guess the GTS is lighter :)

anybody else weigh their ride?

3255 with driver, 3/4 tank of gas, all interior, jack, spare, etc.

Every option is functional including A/C, power windows, power door locks, and aftermarket stereo.

Last time I scaled the car it was 3080 lbs with me (fully suited) and 5 gallons of gas.

Since then I have added a passenger seat.

I still have the factory K-Frame, A-arms etc... along with cast iron heads and a steel scattershield.

I would have to lose 81 pounds from the car ,just so I could say it was under 3k. ;)

Once I get the money, I want to do a tube front suspension, along with all four coil-overs, and eventually (longggggg term) I want to do an all aluminum small block with an aluminum scatter shield and a jerico (probably 10 years away) I figure this should get me down to around 2850 lbs.
