I always figured 2550-2575 would be where most folks would end up. 2500 would be a bit extreme, I'm not sure where you would find the extra weight to toss out.

Exhaust, battery, junk in the car, and gas are the main weight savings and can get most people right near 2600. Then you have lighter suspension components in coilovers. Wheels/tires might be a wash. Brakes are an expensive way to lose weight, but those Essex ones Sam started selling are nice.

I'm not sure how you get to 2500lbs though, that's crazy.

Well if you change out all the heavy factory stuff. And ditch the A/C, etc. Lighter race seats, etc. I guess I could see it in a 100% prepped car.
