So how much does everyones corvette weigh? And what year is it, and what was done to reduce weight? I have a 73 that has a moly back half. We were tracking the weight we took out but lost track of everything. The IRS alone was nearly 400 with brakes The new solid axle is just under 150 with brakes. I'm hoping to get my race weight under 3000. And its gonna be close I think, so far we did the following to reduce weight...

Moly back half
Aluminum wheels, the rears are the same as the steel due to large tires, front is much lighter
Aerospace brakes, all 4 corner
Light weight Kirkey seats, stock ones were over 40 each
Light hood, 17# vs 40 plus pounds
Rack and pinion steering vs. stock set up
Manual brakes vs. power booster
Aluminum radiator 12 vs. 30 plus pounds
And many other things, hope I make the weight to run a little quicker...
