Im sure it has been asked before but whats the weight of the vert manual, also what are some significant ways to lighten it without getting too out of hand. Whoever had the car before me already removed the weight in the fender, and im getting a rear seat delete kit soon. Any advice is appreciated, im in college so my upgrades are slow, but I plan on making my stang a respectable street vert :)
 
3510lbs without me, without the spare, jack, trunk carpet, 25lb weight, dog bone removed, aluminum heads, etc I do have added weight with my chrome roll bar, bround effects and some other misc. stuff. the car actually tipped the scales at 3803lbs with me in it, with the spare and jack in the car, >1/2 tank of fuel, and with the stock heads. :eek:
 
I will admit that mine is on the heavier side than most, but it has been weighed more times than most people even take their car to the track. I'm hoping with the sway bar removed, my new skinnies on the front, a V6 driver's seat, and a dyna batt I will be close to 3400 without me, and around 3570 with.

JFYI- a typical coupe will weigh in around 3350lbs stock.
