I believe yes the SS/SC weighs a tad more than the SS/TC around 100lbs or so from weights I have seen people get on truck scales.

The n20 would because you need a bottle. Unless the feathers are also bottled.

I'm gonna bump this for serious.

Rear seat deleted
CF trunk
light weight wheels
spare is still in but I remove on race day

What else is decent and not ridiculous.

Thinking of more interior. I dd this in the summer when there is good weather, so I'll keep the stereo and sunroof.

Pretty sure those bodies are for tube-chassis drag racing cars, not your stock cobalt. I'm curious about those poly windows though. Glass is heavy as ****. I work with it every single day. Plexi is a pain in the ass to fit but is lighter. Our 40x60 sheets of plexi are probably 15lbs apiece. Easily half that of glass.

Ya, after I was looking I was like...meh I bet non of that fits. You could probably get the window to fit, but it will rivet onto the door, not work as stock window.

That comes out on race day, but talking more than that. I have the rear seat out, rear head rests. Thinking of some more interior trim... but now idk if I'm keeping the SS when I get my RS.....

Wooden wheels would also be lighter than regular wheel and cut down on weight
