Sound deadening weights in at 20 lbs on my car, and will likely not even show up on this car from the rumors. A/c systems weigh no where near that on sports cars, a/c delete is usually a 25 lb weight savings. And as for seats, they will be manual, weighing in at about 35-40 lbs each with the rails. Air bags weigh about 10 lbs each I believe.
This isn't a regular car, it's a lightweight sports car. It comes from factory with lightweight components. Weight reduction will not be as easy as it is on highway cruisers.
@ fernan, it's likely to be over 200 lbs. I'm being conservative.
