The rear seats in my car were pretty light. Any idea on how much they weigh? I took them out anyways because I like the extra space and wanted to save some weight.

Not sure with T-tops, I think that adds a little. 87 Z checks in at a little over 3200. rear seat is pretty light, ac will give you the most, I'm still guessing around 3100. Hard to take the wieght off these without doin some serious mods. Mine is now gutted from behind front seat back to rear, no floor, no rear sub frame no anything, (stand up in rear of car and sweep concrete underneath, by the time I get Frame and ladders and axle...etc. still guessing at 3000.

Took my car to the scale and it showed 3350 lbs.

I have t-tops and all seats. Have removed all emisson crap, had half a tank of gas, no spare tire, trank empty.

I was hoping for a lower number.
