interior part weights
I ripped out my entire interior to make/install rollbars because I'm tired of having to hit the brakes before the end of the 1/4 mi or get booted for going too quick.
Just for grins, I weighed a lot of items. For reference, I have an '08 Coupe with the 2LT sport seats that have airbags and power adjust, but no heat. Other than seats, all the rest should be the same for any C6 Coupe. My UPS scale only reads in .5# increments. I used a postal scale for the lugnuts.
Floor mats (both) 2.5#
Floor carpet (each side) 11.5#
Behind the seat carpet 5#
Hatch carpet 9.5#
Back vertical hatch carpet 3#
Plastic trim (sill and pillar both sides) 3.5#
Misc. pieces that needed removed 4.5#
Drivers seat 51#
Passenger seat 52#
Two other items, courtesy another forum member.
Painted top 24#
Clear top 20.5#
I also bought an extra set of lugnuts to slow the demise of only one set by half, due to the large number of tire changes I do. I went with the lightest low priced set ($15.94 shipped) and I'll only use them for racing.
Stock lugnuts (5 pcs) 8.6 oz
open end lugnuts (5 pcs) 6.2 oz

The rollbar is not complete yet. It's my own design, so that it can be removed in just a couple minutes, but yet fully NHRA legal. It may end up being a little heavier than average. As long as I'm doing one, it might as well be extra safe too.

A bar definitely gives one more freedom and helps avoid those dreaded PA system announcements inviting one for a little 'visit' to the tower after each pass LOL.

Wow! I wouldn't have guessed the heat added 6-7#.
