I was bored this evening so I put together a weight loss potential list. Some weight losses are exact and some are estimated (erred on the conservative side).

I used this thread for most of the stock weights for comparison. Other weights are from threads on this forum.

I left out most of the miscellaneous <.5lb items.

All weights are total (i.e. wheel weight reduction is all 4 corners, not per-side), and estimated weights have a "~".

Code:

Item____________________________Stock___Aftermarket___Reduction
Battery_________________________29.6____~15___________~15
SRT Header-Back Exhaust_________55.5____38.5__________17
Agency Power Header_____________20.8____12.3__________8.5
RPF1 Wheels w/22lb Tires (4)____41.4____~38___________~12
Spare Tire & Foam (remove)______25.8____0_____________25.8
Tools, Jack, Hook (remove)______5.8_____0_____________5.8
Essex Sprint BBK (AP Racing)____61.6____41.6__________20
Rear Speakers (remove)__________?_______0_____________~5
Front Seats/Brackets____________82.8____~45___________~38
Rear Seats (remove)_____________22.2____0_____________22.2
Owners Manual___________________2.8_____0_____________2.8
Perrin Crank Pulley_____________4.9_____1.2___________3.7
Flywheel (n/a yet!)_____________20.6____~12___________~8.5
CF Driveshaft (n/a yet!)________24.1____13.9__________10.2

I understand there are some more serious mods for reducing weight, such as stripping the interior or gutting the AC, but for now I'm trying to keep most of the comforts of owning a brand new car. Post up and I'll add to the list when I can! I know there is more un-needed weight that can be lost!
