here is the pic of my car on the scale
i got alot more **** to removed today and i will go back with an updated weight!

 

whats the lightest u think u can make it?

 

i got a metal shop up the road.. i think i'll do the same.

 

im shooting for 2200 with a full interior

 

yep, mine was 2250 w/ sub woofer, full stereo, only missing spare tire and rear carpet. oh and the usual a/c, etc.. in the engine bay. i love these cars!

 

mine must be hella light all it has is one seat a cd player and two speakers

 

How full was the fuel tank? That would make a difference if you weight it empty or full.

i'd like mine to be 1500lb 2 inches off the ground with a dry sump oil system and then engine mounted lower

 

I was 2200 with only a dash and 2 sparco seats, no AC, emissions and custom exhaust. This was also with the sunroof removed, the spare tire and jack gone, and basically everything except the papers in the glove-box.

if u put a fiberglass hood, fenders and replaced all the glass wit plexiglass 1700 maybe?

 

I've heard of a fully tube-frame 1st gen race-car weighing in at around 1800, but that may have been with driver. I'm fairly sure the absolute lightest you will see on the street without going tube-frame will be in the region of 2000LBS.
