Its 2am and im curious about this!
to be more precise, a 1989 camaro RS T top car that i used to have, with the 305 tbi V8 (not tpi) and 700 R4 trans with a 9bolt disc brake rear (put in myself), stock suspension.
what was removed u ask?? all seats except a racing seat in the front (weighs 15lbs maybe?) all carpet and sound deadening, lower part of dash, basically no interior except the main part of the dash , glovebox and radio, no spare tire/jack/. It didnt come with airbags or ABS from factory
other stuff- fiberglass hood (-44lbs) no front swaybar or brackets, no powersteering, replaced with manual steering box, No AC at all (totally gone) AC bracket cut down a bit as well.
bumper supports, front and rear were still in. (thought it was too much work for that at the time lol)
stock manifolds, stock Y, and a catback; minus the cat
ill search this, but i wanna see what yall say. i heard 3rd gens were 3200-3400lbs stock. i weighed everything i took out, it was 450-500lbs (this is going back a while) never weighed the car, but i know i knocked off .5 second by doing this. i used my gtech, (which was accurate within a tenth of a second, i tested it at the track with the 98 and the street as well) 14.5 @ 90 something mph for the 89'. i had ET streets on the maro' and the lateral G's on the initial launch was .90 something ! lol it would not spin a tire
