I've heard of some people taking their car to a landfill and using their scales to weigh the car, not exactly sure how you do that, I'm sure you have to be sneaky about it.

with me in the car, my subwoofer, passenger seat, and about 1/2 tank of gas, my car weighed in at 3470.

I've got a 92 Z28 with a 350... but it's been modified from stock...

sorry, I didn't really answer your question... my big weight savers was the glass hood, alum heads, no emissions, alum water pump, and a swap from the 700R4 to the T5 (big weight saver). other weight savers include minor things like taking out the insulation and such.

btw, my weight also includes a Players Challenge Roll Cage, and I weigh about 190lbs.

Sorry if I haven't answered your question, but maybe you can gauge it from there
