You should be able to find your answer by using the search function on the forum. To answer your question it would depend on a number of factors including trim levels and accessories. What is your definition of stripped? Do you mean base model or gutted interior?

IMO if you going for weight savings i would ditch the power steering, A/C, and stock items such as cat air pump and other parts that are not 100% needed. everyone ive talked to with a stripped FD regrets it.

VikingWarHammer (a.k.a. Pele) had his old drag car down in the low 2200's with a cage. This was an extreme case. Look up his user name (Pele) and you'll find his car.

Thanks, guys.

I'd say base model with stripped interior, no spare tire but with glass windows, power steering, A/C and the various pumps.

So it sounds like something in the ballpark of about 2,300–2,400 lbs. dry.
