Weight of Options

[OrigTXCobra]

Sorry if I missed this in a consolidated thread already, but I wanted to try to get the facts on weight implications of the various options. I love the creature comforts but just wondering what we are giving up to get them (besides CASH)...

Appreciate any input on getting correct weights:

Option --- Net Weight Difference
SVT Perf Pkg --- plus??
Track Pkg --- plus 35 Lbs
Glass Roof --- plus 23 Lbs
Electronics Pkg --- plus ?? Lbs
Shaker Pro --- plus 30 Lbs?
Recaros --- Could these be a slight weight reduction?
Convertible --- plus 300 lbs??

The only other options are Red Candy Paint, stripe delete (negligible difference) and Car Cover, which obviously wouldn't apply to this.

Id be very surprised if the Recaros were not a weight reduction since they are not power like the normal seats.

That's what I was thinking too...but hoping someone in the know can give us a fairly precise weight delta (on all of these). The best thing to do would be to get a loaded car and a base car on the same scales to compare, but that may be challenging...

Track package is 35 pounds.

Thanks...updated.

just weighed my tank this past weekend. 4000lbs with 1/2 tank of gas.

So I am guessing that the options must come in somewhere between 120 and 140 lbs? If base weight was 3820 and gas weighs about 6 lbs per gallon so 40-50 lbs of gas. Sound right?

Mine is convertible with TP and shaker pro

What about the weight of the wheels? Any difference?

What are the weight of the wheels?

I figured that would be part of the performance package delta...as well as the adjustable struts, torsion diff, etc...

I was on the phone with the 800# for SVT last week and those guys didn't even have the weight of the wheels available. Since they are forged I'm guessing that they are reasonably light weight. I was thinking of ordering different wheels for the car but there seem to be very few forged options out there and going with a cast wheel would be a down-grade in quality.
