This is a link to an on-going project that I have with Chevrolet. I have noted a lot of weights of things that we removed. Note that just the wheels and tires are over 240 lbs.!!

These cars are not even close to Stockers. If I were to convert them, they would easily be 3,000 lbs. including driver.
Daren,
I can relate as regards the removal of weight in the new cars.
I am currently working on a project based on an original 2016 Mustang V6. After removing the drivetrain and all the OEM components that are not required, I was surprised how light the car is without all these parts.
The car can easily weigh less than 3000lbs with the driver race ready.
