most of the suspension is moly, rear lca's and phb are aluminum, QA1's, only a dash, door panels, and driver seat for interior, ls1 aluminum block, th-350 trans, strange drag brakes front and back, only necessary wiring, moly roll bar, narrowed 12 bolt w/ light spool, gear, and axles, nasty perf. aluminum tank, bogart wheels and i think thats about it. the front section of the frame where the bumper support mounts is cut back to core support and that is the only thing cut on the car. just ALL of the unnecessary crap is gone.

I have a 98 Formula 6 speed hard top cloth seats. I also have pretty much every after market suspenstion part(LCA, SFC, Torque Arm, Panhard, stock springs and shocks) and 12 bolt other than that full weight nothing taken out(except Cats). I cant remember if I had my AIR and EGR out when I had it weighed or not, so it may be 15 lbs off. Weight was taken with 1/2 tank of fuel.

3530-without me in it
3730-race weight

So what would MY weight be like. Assuming bone stock, and 160 lb driver.
You will be paying for Med School the rest of your life, might as well have some fun now. Although myself being pretty financially sound I waited to buy a good car until I was done with school and had it all paid off.
