the front bumper support weighs 12 lbs. each bracket about 1.5 lbs a piece so id say you lost 15 lbs by removing that. and when you hit something you will really mess up your front and rear.

ive thought about that, im serously considering just making this thing a track/occasional street car.

its not street legal, so the first time i get a fix-it ticket, im making it a track only car.

id say mine weighs around 2550lbs give or take a few lbs , s4 base se model

removed - ac , ps, airpump, egr, acv, vacuum rack, 5/6 ports and actuators, front speakers, coldstart, storage boxes, rear rug and mat , charcoal canister, other charcoal canister under passenger headlight

also - lightweight rb flywheel (reduced 7lbs from stock)

future mods include - single exhaust (reduce weight about 25-30 lbs), and still thinkin about what else i can do

edit - take off about another 10 lbs if i take out my jack/spare tire

also about the gas thing, is the car's factory weight measured with a full tank of gas ?
