Really? That seems like a lot.
What is a reasonable number to shoot for on a base C6?
Bone stock C6 with me in it is 3400.

So, changing over to C6Z06 carpet saves 25 lbs? Perhaps it's the carpet pad/insulation that is lighter?

electric seats weight a ton. I guess all the weight of the T1 car is in the cage. Isn't the weight of say an 02 Z about 3150 + driver? I would imagine with no carpet, fiberglass seats, open exhuast, remove AC, sub 3000lb should be attainable?
