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:eek:

James, that was a typo...thanks for the correction! 3,311lbs.
 
I still have mine up around 3390 with me in it (200 pounds)

I have some plans for reduction including removing P/S (A/C and smog already gone) aftermarket k-member, AL heads, Al D/S, swap AOD to lighter t-5 and relocate battery to trunk. Also i still have the stock steel hood, hope to ditch that.

SHould remove a ton of weight off the nose.
