Here is a PDF of the spread sheet, at least I think this is the same one going around, not able to up load an XL file. Obviously this is not as useful as the original XL file but thought I would post it.

Edit: Ahh...Lorax's link is working (right click, save as)...ignore PDF.

According to the spreadsheet mine should weigh 2750lbs. Nice. Thanks so much for sharing that.

My seats weighed in around 60-65 lbs. Not quite whats on that chart. Stock hood weighs less than 50.
Stock weight is completely bogus. Sure, maybe a few bare bones ones, but A little over 3000lbs is probably the average Turbo, and a good starting point, Say 3050-3100lbs.

Numbers will get you close, but A little over guestimated. So don't be dis-appointed when You're no where near 2200lbs with the weight savings in the chart. I may be alone, but I consider myself fairly experienced in this lightening thing.

I can tell you that stock T-bars weigh eleven pounds, total. Pulling them makes suspension adjustment much easier, but isn't much of a weight saving. Just an FYI.

My stock hood weighs 40 lbs.

My car, with me in it, weighs about 3100 lbs - that's with no door glass, no sound deadening, no factor seats, light weight exhaust, lots of misc stuff removed - but plus a roll cage.

I'd love to get down to 2800... But I have to remove / modify a lot more stuff to get there.

A ton of that info is incorrect FYI. But it's a good "base".
