qwamen is right aoruns 2800, but hes got nothing, literally nothing in his car. he is however on factory glass and hatch, but id be more worried about balancing the weight correctly across the car

The cage will be the deciding factor. Depending on what we end up doing the weight will vary a good bit.

As bbs mentioned my car is at 2,812lbs without me in it. That is with a full tank of gas, all fluids filled and heavy Axis Reverb wheels on. However, as he mentioned my car is 95% stripped of everything I can. I am still working on the last 5% but I should be able to get the car down to 2,700lbs. I should be very close to 2,700lbs come spring if I can afford skinnies and front brakes on top of a FAST intake/tb and nitrous setup.

I am guessing Edafe's car should be in the 2,900 range somewhere.

Well just the rear quarter panels.. Was going to stick to my OEM pulled fenders but wanted to change it up.. and this way if I get hit or hit something later I could just replace the rear quarter panels.. But I think it will look good with the matte white wrap and black rivets..

It's definitely possible if you don't have a body kit and have nearly everything removed like a racecar. Rewiring my car saved almost 80lbs as well. Skinnies up front, lighter rotors and removing weight from my doors is gonna get me down to my final weight of 2,7XX lbs this year while getting more weight off the front. Since my car is a drag car I am strongly considering removed my power steering as well.
