Seen several very good posts on this, so thought I would start an official S197 diet thread.
As follows:
What things weigh
Original Author: PolkThug

Details:
46.5 lbs Passenger Seat
3.5 lbs Jack
29 lbs Spare tire
7 lbs Trunk mat
1 lb Passenger side floor mat
12.5 lbs Bottom of backseat
Getting rid of all of the above = 99.5 lbs savings
33 lbs OEM AC Unit
40 lbs OEM torque converter(with fluid)
39 lbs OEM driveshaft (GT)
31 lbs OEM driveshaft (V6)
31 lbs OEM H-pipe with cats (GT info, need info for V6)
31 lbs OEM mufflers (pair)
31 lbs OEM battery
27 lbs OEM Pirelli without rim (GT info, need info for V6)
22.8lbs Truetrac 31 spline
21.5lbs (each) front stock strut+spring assembled - no spindle bolts - strut+spring+upper bearing plate/bushing
21 lbs OEM 17x8 rim
18 lbs OEM exhaust manifolds (pair) (GT info, need info for V6)
17.4lbs CHE Axle Brace w/LPW Girdle and bolts
17 lbs OEM Dual amps (behind the shaker 1000 boom box)
16.8lbs (each) Moser Axle - solid 31 spline
14 lbs OEM LCA's
14 lbs OEM front sway bar with end links
14 lbs Odyssey 680 battery
14 lbs (each) Eibach front adjustable srut+spring (pro-street-s)
12 lbs SLP Loudmouths (pair)
9 lbs OEM axle tube weights (pair)
8 lbs OEM crank pulley
6.2lbs CHE PHB
6.2lbs CHE DS loop (front only for a 1pc ds)
6lbs Front plastic inner wheel wells
5lbs Steeda steel strut tower brace (part # 555-5716)
5lbs Trunk trim (sides pannels & platic piece that cover the lower latch) & both struts
4.5 lbs OEM radio/CD player
4 lbs OEM UCA
3.8lbs CHE UCA (adjustable)
3.6lbs (each) CHE LCA
Tire/Wheel Combos
Spare wheel w/M&H tires: 19lbs
17x9 Bullit w/Nitto 450 255/50/17: 54lbs
17x9 Bullit w/M&H 325/45/17: 48lbs
Jegs 15x4 w/Kuhmo 165/80/15: 29lbs
Tank of Gas
Gasoline weighs between 5.8 and 6.5 pounds per gallon
Ethanol weighs 6.5 pounds per gallon
So at 17 gallons a tank (of gasoline)thats 102 lbs avg. running at 1/2 tank gets you a 51 lb weight savings..and the savings gets better after each run.. :)
Note to all
I'll keep this maintained if everyone can link me some info and respond to this thread.
