With the stock sub removal you're in the 30lb range. I'm not going to pretend to be light, mine weighed 3,920 with me in it.
But it beats being over 4,000lbs.

Burning Brakes
The car is coming together...well I guess its coming apart lol. Ever think about removing the rear door panels? I took mine out last week, didn't weigh them but they are worth taking out. The only problem I had is that is you can't roll down your rear windows unless you have the window switch hooked up... So i just have it hanging there for now.

from Inaccurates list they rear doo panel comes to 14 lbs and the fronts come to 18 lbs....
i was thinking of removing the rear panels but didnt want to loose the window functionality....
I think the rear of the car has NO WEIGHT now....barely any....all the weight is in the front half of the car....
Racing seats and battery will be next, that will drop me ~140 lbs from the front of the car.....damn i will be @ 400 lbs of weight LOST at that point....
hahaha.....i love that location dude LOL.....but yeah that is a temporary mod....pretty soon am gonna get Illinois tags (no personal property taxes
and the inspection is SUPER easy....pull in, plug computer, drive out)....so yeah gonna get IL tags and wont need front plates then.....until then, they will stay in that location 
.....Well Steve, it does....its almost like the car lost ~8-10% of her body weight....acceleration is quicker, she brakes better and it nimbler on her feet....
i can only imagine what Tim's car feels like....prolly like a little go-cart with a hayabusa engine in it....
PS: Thank you for the thread title change....

You know what they say, pictures speak 1000 words, so I always post more pictures than I type. It gets your point across easier.

Safety Car
Lately, I am been getting my jollies by picking on people in the turns than racing. Especially after adding the BC Racing coilovers. Houston rush hour is like a crazy chaotic racing event filled with untrained drivers that are rude and impatience. So, I always have some one riding my ass. I get my jollies by hanging a turn or curve at gokart speeds and watch them become a little speck in my rear view mirror.
A few weeks ago, I had a car following me as I hanged one of favorite turns. This is a 90 degree left-hand turn at an intersection. He was right behind me in the same lane as me. As I got thru the turn, I looked in my mirror to see his status. His status was "sideways with his ass end sliding out WIDE". For me, I was taking the turn at about 75% of my potential. This was one of those days that I mentioned before where I will laugh all day long whenever I think about what happened. Even now typing this makes me laugh.
A few minutes later, I saw that it was a Mustang GT (8 cyl) approx 2002-2004.

Anil, amazing pics...seriously. Great job, man and thanks for the creds! I love that your car has some mods that are totally different from anyone else on here.
Innac...about your story, same thing happened to me with a 6th Gen accord...was coming up on the flyover exit minding my business and taking it quickly...the accord was feeling froggy and was trying to show me up (behind me)...he nearly lost control...car went back and forth all nuts like...then he straightened out and slowed the heck down. When he passed me as I made my turn after the exit he looked pale and scared and wouldn't even look in my direction. I didn't feel badly because I wasn't even enticing him...

Gokart is the best one-word description for my car.
