Cobalt Sedan. 3200 lbs

subscribed... GM estimates 2 door coupe weighing in around 2700lbs, but the lighter you are, the faster you are...

Does that mean Paris Hilton is faster than Kimbo?

well i weighed my 2 door sport last weekend at the track with my in it, and some car cleaning stuff in the back and somewhere around 1/2-1/4 tank of gas; i was 3050lbs. But as for weight reduction...


CF hood
CF trunk
lightweight battery
lightweight wheels
take out spare/the rest of your trash
run with under a 1/4 tank of gas (full takes are heavy)

if you want extreme,
get thinner glass
remove seats, etc.
take off AC, powersteering etc.
go on a diet

removing seats isnt extreme.
I gutted my seats, spare, jack, floor mats, trunk mat, every week for the track in about 10 minutes
150lbs+

rear seat belts and rear seats/braket weighs a good deal i took out around 90 pounds including the spare and jack if you want to get serious go CF or take out the trunk and hood skeletons

I've heard the CF hood is about 50 lbs, which makes me wonder what the stock hood was.

CF trunk?

If anyone can link me to that how to on weight reduction, that would be great because I see no such thread.

cf hood is about 18lbs
stocker is about 48lbs

what does a stock battery weigh? i see lightweight ones weigh 11.5 pounds

Sentry

I would guess around 30lbs easy.

Dunkinuts

yeah i weighed mine and it was just over 30lbs you get get some light weight batteries from tirerack. under 10lbs

they do recommend that you use at least the 11.5lbs battery for daily use.

I shed 13lbs from changing exhaust. Another 9lbs when changed to my coilovers. You can also remove the rear speakers and sub, not sure on the weight though.

randizzle

on my grand am, i was able to shed well over 100 lbs. in about an hour of work. this involved gutting the trunk of EVERYTHING that was in it (spare, jack, liner, sound deadening), back seats out, floor mats out, switched to 14 in. pontiac wheels from 16s (about 8 lbs. per wheel!), and cleaning the crap out of the car.
