With me and 1/2 tank of gas 3450, but I weight 220 with clothes on, don't remember if that was night I raced naked or not, if it was subtract about 8lbs for clothing, that would be 3222, wheels are heavier than stock but tires and exhaust considerably lighter.I only race naked for money, its not the weight savings its the shock value to my opponent.Imagine a sixty something old man naked in a vette, then think, would that effect your driving skills.

For the record..... I weighed the car today. On the scale, it weighed in at 3380 lbs.
1) I left the all the mats in the car, includiing the cargo area mat. Misc other stuff ie: radar detector, XM radio ect. (-25lbs)
2) I have a NX system wet system with all the extras and a 10 lb bottle about 1/2 full. - (-30lbs)
3) I filled it up so 16 gallons x 7lbs = - (112 ibs)
I also added C6 black motorsport wheels, with larger tires. (275s in front, 305s in the rear by the way.)
Base weight around 3213 or so..
I guess thats about the norm..
Thanks to all that posted info..
