Just generally curious as to how light you guys have been able to get these cars. My auto/vortech car is 3540 with an 1/8th tank and minor weight reduction:

No spare/jack/sway bars/rear seats

Post up your weights and how you got it there!

I'll be weighing mine here in the next month or so. Aiming for 32xx without me in it. Curious to see what others are weighing in at!

Any idea how much weight the welds saved? Also, are you still running the leather seats that come in the premium?

I did weigh the wheels but I don't remember the difference. I do remember it was less weight savings than I expected. Like 20 each for the skinnies, and way less for the rears with a 275 radial.
And yes, it's still the power heated leather seats.

Did you have the cloth manual front seats? I cant imagine they weigh much anyway. What did you put in there instead?

Shaun what kind of weight savings did you see with the Weld wheels?

my weld rts rears (15x8) with mt et street bias ply (26x11.5x15) are 25 lbs each less than the factory 18x8 with stock 235 pirellis. No tubes. I can't remember the exact weight but it was roughly 55 lbs vs 30 lbs each. I don't run skinnies to give the weight details for the front.

Assuming a 3600lb base weight with an m6.
Add 110lbs for procharger, 3 gallon meth injection, che axle brace

Subtract
Weld wheels
Aerospace front brakes
Exhaust weight savings
Tubular k-member and a-arms
Corbeau front seats and rear seat delete
Spare tire
BPS rad support and front sway bar delete
Front air dam and splash guard
Lightweight battery in stock location
JPC tubular front bumper
Washer fluid tank removed

I think mine is close to 3400lbs without me in it.

Looking at possibly doing a manual rack, a/c delete, ford racing steering wheel, and aerospace rear brakes this winter

2011 premium MT82 car. Stock wheels. 3660 without me in it.

Need to weigh it now with the new wheels, and turbo setup. It's a pig.

I have done most of the common weight savings and would love to know what mine is. I would think 33xx to 34xx with the charger but that is just a guess. Mods in sig + Odyssey Battery, and Empty washer fluid.

When I went to the track two weeks after buying the car, I weighed in at a CAT scale at a truck stop. 3/4 tank of fuel and me (265lbs), it weighed 3924 lbs.

2013 Premium GT w/ Recaro's and Brembo's.

Bump.

Just picked up a bone stock 300A 2014 GT. It’s 3660 with a full tank of gas.

I’m looking to get it to 3500 without a ton of effort for the race season.

Is the 3660 with you in the car?

I've been curious about the weight for a while but never been on a scale with mine. I have a base model GT 6M. I've added Steeda jacking rails and the 19 inch track pack wheels but no other major things that would add weight like a subwoofer or anything like that.
