I question these weights here. What kind of scale did you use? Does the washer fluid tank really hold 1.5 gallons? Does the tow hook really weigh 8.6 lbs? That's like the weight of a Mustang dog bone. 3 lbs for a battery cover?

Damnit. I thought word was born but alas, no. How good of a guesser are you? Does the rear seat really weigh 40? Spare? 40?

I was hoping to easliy drop 100 pounds for autoX but you have put doubt, or at least raised reason to break out the scale.

How about the hardware Ryan?? Did you weigh any of that?
All the nuts, bolts, screws that you removed also add up very quickly!
I remember in one car we stripped, we weighed all of the hardware, which came out to almost 20 lbs!

3160! That's really light haha!
Sorry if this was asked, but was all this done before or after the Super Lap Battle?
I don't think I could do without a lot of the stuff you pulled out though.. I'm assuming you don't drive it on the street anymore?

Ya it was all done before Super Lap. I still take it out once in awhile, not much though.

BTW, as of last night it weighs 2,915

nasty! how did you lose another 2xx pounds??
I don't think even most CT9A's get that low
Is it fully stripped now, or is there more to lose?

I ran at SLB with a full interior. I took most everything out, but there is still another 100lbs to go if I get really serious...

Oh...and might be getting some dry carbon parts
