weight reduction = !sway bar, !dog bone, !spare Jack, rear seat cushions only
I do have MTX 12 inch subs, 2 amps and a crossover
Methinks you need to find a different scale... one that's accurate maybe. That's way too light, especially with the stereo gear.

I think your weight is pretty accurate. Aluminum heads save a ton of weight and the stock cat-pipe weighs a ton as well. The A/C is also good for several pounds. If anything, I'd think you may be a bit closer to the 3K mark.
FWIW, my GTS weighed 3260# completely stock (nothing removed) plus a Bassani SS catback. This was w/o me and 2.5 gallons of fuel in the tank. I've since added (or removed):
Fluidyne aluminum radiator - pound or two heavier than stock
16" wheels swapped for 17's - added 8# total to the car
Aluminum pullies
Tubular K-member
Tubular A-arms
Coilovers at all four corners
Cobra R Bilstein struts and shocks (maybe a 2-3 pounds lighter)
Sway bars removed (front and rear)
Smog pump and associated tubing removed
Bassani SS offroad X-pipe
Dog-bone removed
Stock LCA's swapped for MM RR LCA's (2.5# each)
Quad shocks removed
Trunk gutted, jack and spare removed
Sound deadening material in trunk removed
Rear seat deleted (without any paneling added)
Rear seatbelts removed
I've got a ton of other stuff but they're really not that much different than the stock weight (e.g. my poly motor mounts don't weigh any more or less than the stock ones).
I haven't weighed it recently but I suspect that I'm hovering around the 3100# mark. After the hood swap and Al heads, I fully expect to be quite close to 3K even. Brakes will probably be before that though and drop me a few more pounds (aluminum calipers and 2-piece rotors). There's a ton of other things I have planned as well that both add and subtract weight. By the time it's all over (is it ever?) I'm hoping for a 2900# SN-95 with me in it, a full tank of gas, and retaining A/C , P/S, and the radio.
