Race weight
I have a 2006 GT, 5 speed, leather, 18 inch wheels. At the time I had done nothing to the car, no weight reduction, no mods. I weighed the car with a quarter tank of gas, and me out of it. It tipped the scales at 3,480lbs. So if I calculate right that would put the car at just under 3,450lbs. race weight. I am pretty confident I can shave 50 lbs. off the care without a problem, considering what I was reading about the metal chunks on the axle, whatever those are supposed to be anyways.
