Anyone know what the passenger Recaro seat and rear seat weigh? I searched google but couldn’t find the answers.
Recaro Passenger and Rear seat weight?
- Thread starter RazorGTP
- Start date
I gathered these numbers from a previous thread. Please excuse if I don't know the sources.
Spare tire kit 6.2, Rear Seat Bottom 12.2, Rear Seat Back 12.3, SubWoof 36, Stereo Amp 17 , WiperFluid Res 8.5 and in recent battery threads Stock Battery 31.6 vs ATX 30 Lithium Battery @ 5.94LBS...But the Lithium Restart Feature was a problem. When I returned my ATX 30 I was advised they were planning on a new ATX 30 battery type w/o the Restart Feature. I'm guessing it won't be cheap.

Together they will weigh approx 80-90 lbs. About 45-50 lbs for the Recaro (Its no light weight) and 35-40 lbs for the rear seats.
Thanks man, for this yr the only thing I might try is the pass and rear seat
Wow that much for the factory Recaros?? Guess I will be trying it. Thanks man!

Yea them Recaro's are no light weights but they sure are beautiful and I would love to have a set in cloth even. I say remove the rear seat but keep the front. In reality, 45 lbs just isn't gonna set the world on fire and put ur car in the 9's lol. No one can fit in the rear so removing it is a no brainer.
Yes I love mine but had no idea they still weighed so much. When we have a low DA at the track next I will remove both and give it a shot since I’ll have a chance for 9’s actually. Lol
Any updates this year?
I’m not racing until after taking it to the Woodward Dream cruise. Don’t want to break it without enjoying it this summer.
These cars are tough to race, just the right combination should be 9s though. Good luck!

Well I went a few times in May and got my PB of 10.52@133 with a 1.53 60’ in a 4400DA.
Since then I added Strange adj struts which should get me in the mid 1.4’s now since my stock fronts were stuck in sport mode hindering my weight transfer.
Also added 50+ rwhp with a 2.4 and 116 tune.
So my rudimentary math in a perfect world should get me close to a 9.99. Improvement in 60’ should be -.1, increase of power should be -.2 and 2mph, removing the seats should be -.05 and a DA between 2000-2500 should be another -.2 off. what’s your opinion on that math?
I would agree you’ll be close.
What’s the track elevation?
We really never get negative DA here but can get low before the temp is too cold to race. I think our main track is 800ft elevation.
I use the Dragtimes app.

Oh your lucky to have such a low elevation/DA! Lol. Here’s when I got my PB. The lowest dA I ever raced at here is mid-late sept and it was 2100da

The track elevation is 2200 ft.
FYI....since I returned the ATX30 Lithium battery I was kept on email notice and was advised there's a new ATX30-HD antigravity battery out now w/o the Restart Feature that reportedly is compatible with our GT500's. Not cheap at $560 + requires a Lithium charger for extra long storage ...CCA970 ...weighs 7.81lbs, which is about 24lbs lighter than OED.
I switched to the Antigravity myself and wanted the re-start technology but apparently it inst compatible with our cars. My battery weighs 5 lbs. it was $400. No need to spend $560 on that one. It wont do anything more and we certainly dont need near a 1000 cranking amps to start these cars. Mine has 720 CCA's and started up easily when it was 6 degrees out in the winter after sitting for two months. Saved like 30 lbs in weight tho.
I had an electrical issue thru my alternator and it died one night driving (Not a warm and fuzzy feeling when all ur lights go puff on the hi way while in the left lane....) but anyway the battery died and I was unable to bring it back to life so that is one of the downsides to lithium batteries.
Called antigravity and bought one of their chargers to try to bring back to life on a slow trickle but no luck. They said it was dead and useless. Had to buy new one as I bought used and had no warranty. I keep it on the charger now but not necessary at all. I never had it on a charger before and had zero issues.
