yes I actually have had the car weighed recently.Great build thread, nice updates and pics detailing your adventure - thanks for sharing with us!
Just curious with all of the changes you’re making, do you happen to have an idea of your current net weight savings and/or projected total vehicle weight w/driver?
with a full tank of gas my car weighed approximately 3920lbs. This was at a certified scale at my local scrap yard. I also had the stock gt350 steel wheels on, NOT my carbon wheels.
my goal is a curb weight of 3500lbs. Or a race ready with fuel of 3628lbs.
16 gallons of fuel is 128lbs
51 lb difference from steel wheels to carbon fiber wheels
if you back those 2 weights off.
That’s 3741 current curb weight.
I have to lose 241 more lbs in the car. I’ve done the math. And with all my planned weight mods. Im going to be around 70lbs short.
carbon seats. I have those installed now.
Just need to get my scale and weigh them. I’m assuming 30 lbs
Carbon body panels. Waiting to receive to get weights. I’m assuming 30lb savings.
Lightweight battery 15lbs,
lightweight k member 25lbs
polycarbonate front and rear windshield 27 lbs
carbon ceramic rotors around 43lbs (this will be last purchase I make)
that’s around 170lbs knocked off. Minus 3741
that’s a new curb weight of 3571 lbs. that’s getting me close to my goal.
