Hey guys, I weighed my car on a very accurate scale, that I know is correct.

WHATS DOES YOURS WEIGH???????????
Mine with Terminator engine[iron block] and T-56,03 seats and 460 sound system is lighter than yours. that's on heavy 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear rims with 315 tires.My BS rims with tires take off another 90 lbs.
I went across the scales at 3543 I'm sure it doesn't matter but my car is a GT with a 4V,Cobra Brakes and IRS swap. I was about 200# at the time. I don't remember how much fuel I had
Mine weighted 3485. With a full tank of gas, spare tire and jack and me (+225) in the car,
no AC (-35) no bumper supports (-40). light weight rims with a saving of about (-90), no tail pipes and light weight mufflers.The scales I was on were accurate. They were 4 wheel scales.
Thats 210 in weight savings for me. That would make my car 3470 with out me in it it you added these on. I'm trying to think of another 90 pounds that was taken out but i just can't come up with it. OH the dog bone! but I assume yours is gone too. if not that a little more.
When I get crazy and want to go as fast as possible the car weights right around 3265-3280 with me in it. 1/4 tank of gas, no front passenger seat, no spare or jack, no mach 460 rear deck, no rear seat.
i drove around when i did my interior swap with every thing stripped but the drivers seat. i could feel a difference. i didn't even have door panels on though.
My car has IRS as well and while I have the motor out to get built I am gonna be doing all the weight saving mods I can. Trunk is bare already, but i will be removing the amp and subwoofer. Removing bumper supports, washer fluid tank, pump and lines, Lightweight seats (lighter at least) rear seat delete and etc. It sucks these cars are pigs. If you could ever get one down below 3000 they would be extremely nasty but there would be some extensive modifying. CF body panles, no interior, basically a car that wouldn't be pleasant on the street.
My car in street trim was 3440 with me, race weight is 3300. Thats with no spare/jack/skinnys and amp rack out. Next summer race weight will be 3000 without me!

Your swapped 96 is light at less than 3560... mine with full tank and 18" AFS Bullitt wheels 9 front /10.5 rear was 3690, no driver. This was with the full MM suspension, tubular K etc that reduced weight a bit.

you have to account that you have an 04 cobra motor swap.. that's a blower, plus the iron block unless u used the aluminum one. also the Kmember and control arms drop weight true, but the tq arm and panhard bar don't help for the weight factor.. also if you have a 6spd that weighs more too.

Yea the Cobra Motor added about 200 lbs plus with all of the plumbing I guess.... I didn't think about the T56 but that would add too. I think I am still lighter than many Terminator coupes, one post here said 3760 with full tank for an 03. Guess I am about where it should be....
