Weight - Under 3,000 pounds.

[aleks77]

I have a 2000 Camry XLE, which weighs 3120 pounds, which in my opinion is very very light for a big car like that.

Now If I were to take out all the following things, what weight would I be at (under 3000?):

- AC [I have auto temp thing, i want that, but no ac]
- Cruise
- Spare Tire + All tools
- Convert to manual
- Carbon Fiber Hood

I dont wanna do anything EXTREME like take out back seats, i have friends

Thanks guys!

i think you'll be barely under 3000

light rims and tires are a great idea too

Edmunds lists my car as 3252 pounds......I think I'll take it to a scale.

Whats so special about <3,000 pounds? Don't forget yourself, that will add a bunch.

I think Edmunds reviewed my car, and the V6 adds ~100 pounds me thinks.

Wow, that's not far from the weight of my old 74 Dodge Challenger 3400lbs, with a V8. My lil 'Corsa' is only 1950lbs, can't wait to get the 3SGTE in it!

get rid of the friends and you will get ride of alot of wight
get ride of all the seats add raceing seats you can have 4 in the car and you loose wight,ditch all the carpet in the trunk,go light rims,washer resivar,but why do you need to loose 120 pounds?

The list at one place for my Gen. 2 is 2,822 pounds.

I don't know if thats believable or not. I'll try this Edmunds place and see.

Just checking, lighter = faster correct? And ofcorse better handling.

f=ma

its all physics

[Aussie Ed]

don't forget the interior carpetting, audio gear and door trimming.

go carbon roof as well, like th bmw m3 cls

get hi density foam racing seats, lightweight rims, aluminium coilovers.

that will get rid some of those unwanted pounds. and will give you better power to weight ratio.

Rearrange it to a=f/m and it gets much more understandable for those who didn't pass physics. If you keep the same amount of force (f), but use less weight (m), you get more accelleration (a).

meh, i'm not gonna fuck with newton

Thats a little extreme......I'll keep the seats for now, and the carpeting inside....will get rid of shit in the trunk tho, and maybe carbon fiber hood, ill leave my roof lol, a/c will probably go.....i wanna lose 100-200 pounds, not 50% of the vehicle's weight :p

Also, take those pesty steel tubes out of your doors. I wonder who decided to put those things in there...

BTW, if you do, don't sue me if you get t-boned and break your pelvis.
