That seems optimistic for a street car (without gutting it).
Both doors - 60 lbs
Rear fenders - 14 lbs
Front fenders - 16 lbs
Total - 90 lbs
CF saves about 2/3rds of the weight, so all of that is roughly 60 lbs savings.
Racing seats is 80-100 lbs savings, wheels are 10-20 lbs, battery is 40 lbs, exhaust is 40 lbs?
After all of that we're still only at 260 taking the highest numbers. I don't know how much the trunk or hatch weigh.
What else am I missing? I've thought about this a lot because I'd like to lighten up the car as much as possible without losing the creature comforts. I still want to get a CF driveshaft at some point.
