Yeah, he is pretty big.

Mine weighs in at 2500. The car still needs a diet.

Good Point. Included a Stereo, Sub, Amp, Glass top, spare tire, jack, etc.
Zero weight reduction. Remember it's a fully loaded GSL-SE.

The car should weigh less soon, as I am pulling out the AC, PS, Jack,
Spare, and the swing-out bars.

At the track. Pretty accurate. I zero'ed it out before rolling on there.

When your making 400-500hp does a few hundred lbs. really make that big of a difference?

Weighed mine at Moroso this weekend (local track). Came in at 2390 with 1/2 tank of gas.
I have an 85 SE with a TII motor and 4 pt bolt in roll cage. It has NO A/C or PS or large stereo.
I was a little dissappointed since it has no A/C, I expected it to weigh less but I guess the HKS cast iron log manifold and turbo system add some weight that has been removed..
