Weight reduction factoids ...

[FlyByU]

Actually it was the Hotchkis sway bar, lol. Good catch.

I'll be posting all this info in the 2nd post when I get a chance
I've taken whats in this thread and split it into 3 catagories Interior, Exterior and Wheels and will seperate stock from after market in each one.

This is the scale I got
TL-440-Industrial-Hanging-Scale


Dan can I list your sway bar as.......SRT sway bar only?

I just took off the AC lines and stock condenser & AC motor w/ pulley. I know they took some weight off. I'll get a total weigh and post it

AC motor alone was 14.5 lbs the condensor was another 10lb and all the lines =25lbs
Now to get rid of the entire back seats

25 lbs for just the lines or do you mean 25 for everything?

[ponch79]

25lbs for everything, lines,ac motor w/pulley, condensor.

That was my second guess! I remember you wanting to get the rear sway bar off and it was red.

Second Post updated with all info except first post
I still need to weigh my wheels thats why its blank

Nice post Damon.

My car weighed 4277 at Bradenton and I have stripped out most everything that can come out without pulling up the carpeting. I gained a couple of pounds going from the 5.7 to the 6.1 and from the stock exhaust to the Corsa. I am hoping to be right around 4100 at Va.

Your list is missing the spare tire/wheel and jack assembly weight. For the magnums, there is also the cargo curtain, luggage tray and spare tire cover, which all add up.

Well I was very suprised, I have taken everything out of my car but the paint, granted I am not skinny by any means but I still come in at 3970 lbs with driver and 5 gallons of gas. My car has nothing in it, 10 pt cage doesnt help but come on, wtf, lol. The 8.8 rear and stout drive shaft arent light but I really was hoping to get my car down to 3800 with driver without using a saw, lmfao.

Big car. Lots of metal. How much did you shave off total?

[FlyByU]

500 lbs roughly

It would be interesting to see if some of the Mercedes sub-frame and control arm pieces that are Supposedly made of aluminum would drop the weight of the car significantly... Might be a good alternative compared to cutting up the car.
