My car weight

[AlexTampa]

Today i went and weigh in my Mustang 2019 base GT 5.0 a10 Auto, 315 gears. I have done some MOd's to the car including weight saving mods. I am very disappointed. The car has some BMR products Kits to stop all of the wheel hop , I did Cat less Headers with H pipe and Lethal Performance full Exhaust. Cold air intake. LUnd Racing E85 N Gage tune and Project 6 GR 20 inch wheels 275/30 front 305/40 Rear witch are suppose to be lighter then factory wheels. My car came in at 3700 LBS with 1/2 a tank of E85 gas.

I been told the next steps to reduce weight is Replace driver seat with stationary light bucket seat and while Racing 1/4 mile to remove passenger side seat.

I am getting racing helmet and 5 point Harness with rear harness Bar

Also planning to get a Drag set pair of wheels with Front skinny's

what do you all think

What exactly were those weight saving mods because it seems like you forgot to mention them (other than wheels - but your tires probably added some weight back in) ? H pipe saves just a few pounds (like 7 or so), all your stop the hop parts add weight back in.

Easy buttons are getting rid of rear seat, lightweight battery, lightweight brake rotors, lighter front seats (just by doing this you're going to have airbag light and entire SRS system inoperable so if you daily drive the car, not the smartest thing to do. If you hit the wall at drag strip you may want those airbags working as well...).
3700 lb is actually pretty good with what you listed...

How are you disappointed with 3700? Thats super good. These cars when stock are around 3800. They're fat. But all modern cars are. It helps you not die in a crash.

this car is my daily driver and i do need my 4 seats cause of the kids.

I put Antigravity H5 but if you want max weight saving, AT20HD (?) is even lighter. that's 20lb+ saving without doing any actual work to the car and easily reversible. Wait for their next sale, they have those on regular basis. Probably Black Friday.

Any Other ideas for weight reduction?

 

[barkingspud]

3700? That's awesome. I haven't weighed mine but I bet it's every bit of 4100.

I would rock what ya got now, that's a great weight. I think you're at the tipping point between easy weight savings mods and expensive or drastic mods. There are carbon fiber front bumpers, hoods, doors, fenders, and trunk lids available, for example.

More like than 20lb. And it's actually cheap weight reduction. Once you run out of easy things (like battery or rear seat, that's when it gets really expensive or you start hacking the car up.

Base 19 A10 car with a ton of weight reduction here and with a lot of work you can get some serious weight out, but you’re gonna sacrifice a lot to do it.

My base 17 GT is now around the high 3400 lb mark. Didn't sacrifice anything other than the back seat. Most was exhaust / wheels - tires, and other tidbits that didn't affect safety. Haven't even touched the battery yet or lighter weight rotors.
