Is 2900lbs wet unachievable without major sacrifices? This is my list so far of places I can cut that won't bother me for a weekend street car/hpde car
Weight loss chart starting at 3140
Michelin ps2 Tires 5lbs
Battery 21lbs Braille b2015c
Cooks Headers 25lbs
LG G2 Coil overs 5lbs
Cf Roof and halo 12lbs
Sparco Evo 2 12lb
Seat mounts 40lbs
Window fluid ~5lbs?
Wheels 22lbs hre r40
Spectre werkes gtr cf hood 12lbs
Radio is 20lbs Id like to keep this but maybe put in something lighter if possible.

Besides these mods (some of which are already in the car) im coming up blank as where to cut weight without really compromising it's street carness so to speak.

Is 2950-3000lbs pretty much it?

You can loose another 25lbs with an aftermarket catback exhaust.

reasonable suspicion

Wait, so I'm losing 50 pounds by going with arh headers, and a bnb prt? Really?

phipp85

Yes. I have Burns Stainless lightweight catback system so I can only speak for that but I believe there are other system that are similar in weight.

My Wife's car weighs 3038 lbs before the CF World Challenge hood and the exhaust which is kooks, no cats and a modified BB bullet exhaust with no large resonator. Should be under 3000. I will know in the next couple weeks.

I have a corsa now that came with the car. Maybe I could find someone willing to trade or plus a little cash. I really like the corsa sound though.

db2xpert

Corsa is really heavy.
The Burns is 26#ess.

What about the CF and Lexan rear window/hatch from Katech?

33lbs of weight savings

Do you already have Ceramic brakes? That will drop quite a few pounds.

Is the 3140 full tank of gas or half tank?
I did not see a lightweight clutch/flywheel on your list I think that could save you 20 pounds. Stock is like 56 pounds.
I saw somebody mention brakes rotors there are a few pounds there.

How much do YOU weigh?



......I always try to eat less during track season.
1. To lose some weight.
2. That way I have more available funds for stuff like tires.

Rotors is a good idea but a lexan window seems like it would be bad for the street.

gatti-man

6' 175lbs. 32" waist. I could be skinnier but not by much.

These weights are with a full tank of gas correct? It may be already mentioned, but I shaved a good chunk off with an RPS clutch too.

I weighed 3043 in a 2006 with a half tank last season, 2006 Z06 2LZ, Kooks headers/cats/Corsa/18/19 split spokes and RPS street twin lite -all this with the Lingenfelter tank holding more oil. My old PS2s cost me about 4# per tire compared with R888s, so I'm probably 3050ish now with a full tank if that helps at all.

Carbon brakes will save you a lot, but Id start with the high stuff like Roof/halo for bang for buck in your quest - thinking center of gravity logic here.

That's a little heavy.

My car was in the 2800lb range.

Go with the Shorai lithium ion over the Braille 2015. It's 10lbs lighter and has more reserve capacity and CCA.

Coleman two piece rotors...something like 33-34 lb reduction.

Damn 2800lbs would be sweet if I could keep my stereo and AC.

My '08 was 3075 with only headers and clutch change. Miss that car

How noticeable is a 100 lbs weight loss on a C6 Z06 when it comes to tracking it? On an average 2:00 min laptime does it help shave just a tenth off or multiple seconds?

I often times see posts about extreme measures to lose weight and always wondered does it even make a noticeable performance difference?

Or is it just more for bragging rights? My car weighs 29XX. Kinda like comparing HP dyno numbers.

Here is a Z06 weight loss thread with a nice chart - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ight-list.html
