My Turbo was 2750lbs with me in it...... My NA race car was 2178 with 3/4 tank of fuel when I got it. It's a shame I had to add over 300 pounds of ballast plus myself(150lbs) just to meet the 2,600min for SP1.

Mine's about the same... it was juuust under 3,000 (2,996 sticks in my head for some reason) when I had it corner balanced back in late May.

Full factory carpet and sound deadening. Recaro SRD's, Rennline rollbar, full A/C, cool suit tank in rear tire well. The only "lightening" I've done is pull the back seat, and that was more for aesthetics than weight.

I'm protesting these weights. They are invalid unless the driver's fat but is sitting in the car! So how much with YOU in it?

2650 with all my gear on.

+1, that's with added weight to make my race class.

Alright, will make an attempt to list what I"ve done.

When I was just under 2450 (empty), I had:
Fiberglass:
- Hood skin (just ran a skin)
- Front bumper cover
- Fenders
- Dash

Interior:
- Gutted to the point where I had cut out the mounts for the rear seats. No, they didn't weigh that much, but that should tell you how I approached gutting it, because it means different things to different people
- No HVAC of any shape, form, or fashion
- Cobra Suzuka seat

Lexan:
- Hatch
- Windshield

Electrical:
- Front body harness removed (not running fans)
- Braille battery

Other body:
- No wheel wells, no carbon canister
- ALl undercoating removed from firewall forward (mainly front wheel wells)

Since then, I've taken out a lot more weight, not sure exactly how much
- No more fusebox.......only wiring is DME/KLR harness, turbo water pump, rear brake lights, and gauges. So that means I have removed the rear tail light harness, all of the underdash stuff, switches to wipers, running lights, reverse lights, etc.
- Lexan quarter glass
- Fiberglass rear bumper
- Inner steel on doors removed
- Side mirrors replaced with roll cage mounted convex ones
- Removed transaxle cooling loop (the MIllers nanotechnology based oil tends to run about 25 degrees cooler, which enabled this.......I'm only runnning about 230 degree temps in the transaxle with it, now).

I've not reweighed it since then, but I think that I've probably taken close to another 60 pounds out of it. Goal is to get close to 2300 empty if I change from a turbo to an S (16V NA). I have some weight left in the wheels, rear wing, and front bumper support.

67King, wouldn't you want to be running fans (at least one) on a turbocharged track car, surely the radiator picks up a lot of heat and you're not always in steady airflow?

I'm adding one back (10" aftermarket). If I never had issues, I'd be fine, but even letting it sit long enough to pull off my hood (again, just a skin, so I have to remove four pins, and then lift it) and get blink codes is enough, right off of the track for it to overheat. But on the track, I had no issues with overheating.
