Tom from Armstrong Racing will chime in I'm sure but last I checked he was down to 2100lbs with a stripped interior, wire harnesses that are not needed and replaced some of his glass w/ lexan

I'm at 1951 now with a SEDAN, but I could go lower for sure. I sill have all of the door beams and all hinges/latches, and sound deadening. I have the glass rear window still too.

A lot of people could also stand to lose at least 30-60 lbs.
