The main thing in the sc I think that weighs alot are the door. Compare your hinges to any other car and feel how heavy it is to open. Also all that leather in the interior is crazy heavy. A leather jacket feels extremely heavy. How about a whole interior? If you want your sc to be under 3000 lbs, your going to have to sacrifice alot of comfort and extras that lexus put into it.
If mine were a track car, of course. But I actually drive mine and I dont mind the weight. lol

The hood, doors and trunk would all need to be one of the first things to go CF on my car if I wanted to loose weight.The hood alone weighs probably as much as I do. Dont bother throwing out your rear seats if you want to keep the luxury. They weigh close to nothing...but definitely toss the front seats and get something super light and aggressive! Im rocking a friends 99 Celica seats right now that he modded and they are a world of difference in weight compared to the stock seats. Also if you dont DD your car take out the spare tire, that weighs about 50-60 lbs.

well 3100 lbs should be attainable. I was reading earlier on lextreme.com about a guy who has his SC400 down to 3100lbs. But that's unconfirmed. And he was pulling out more than I'd like. But was still rockin the automatic and supra tt brakes as opposed to ls400 brakes and also 19" rims. So there's some comprimising there. Hmmm. Now I'm even more determined to make this happen.

absolutely not...hell no...our cars are tanks.......unlessssssss u
put lighter wheels
pull all your seats out & interior throw a single bucket in
cf doors, hood, trunk,
get rid of your high beams
ls400 brakes are gonna weigh more if anything
sunroof delete
single exhaust
fuel cell
light weight battery
fiberglass fenders
fiberglass bumpers
cf mirrors
plexi-glass instead of glass windows
pull ac
pull stereo
pull speakers
and now u might as well throw a cage in and a huge engine and make your car a drift machine...
