My 90 Coupe weighed 2860 with a half tank of gas, and mostly gutted. All I left in it was the seats (4 cylinder) door panels, dash, and center console. I also have A/C and PS. I'd like to get some more weight out of her but I don't want to sacrifice safety. I'd like to get at or near 2800 with me in it, and still retain A/C.

Another thing to remember is better suspension components usually weigh more. Not much, but it seems like some. Subframe connectors are a must, and those are added weight above anything else. The difference between stock suspension, and upgraded is pretty impressive. My car actually feels like it's trying to hook now. At first it was just wheelspin, then wheelhop, now I'm just at the limit of my crappy tires.

For the record (traction not being an issue) 400hp, and 2800 lbs = 11.02. That's a perfect pass though.
