My old coupe weighed 2980 without driver.

No smog stuff, no cats, no power steering, tubular k-member, tubular a-arms, coil over front suspension, no dog bone, skinny's, no spare, no jack, fiberglass hood, aluminum driveshaft.
This was the extent of the weight savings items.

[Maryland Stang]

3180 pounds without driver on a certified scale. This is with a full tank of gas. At the time the only things removed were the dog bone and the quad shocks. Addtional weight is the sub frames. I have since removed the A/C.

Friends 00 Gt with 17x9 Chrome Cobra R's, 5spd, dumped mufflers, fully loaded with mach 460 and leather weighed 3,337lbs. 1/2 tank of gas. Before the weigh-in I guess 3,333...I was quite close

My 2000 Gt with 17x9 Chrome Cobra R's, no leather or mach 460 weighed 3,011lbs IIRC.

All without driver...

How much gas did your car have in it? Even if it was full of gas, that's only like maybe 65lbs more of gas (I've heard a gallon is around 8lbs). So the only difference I see is the mach 460 and leather and it's 326 lbs more? Add the 65 for a full tank of gas and it's still 261 more...wow - I wouldn't have guessed that a stereo system and leather interior would way that much more...crazy
