Real weight if a 2010 SS with Driver (as raced)
I was not able to get the search function to work. Please don't flame me if the has a good thread that I couldn't locate.
What is a real "as raced" weight for a 2010 SS? We did a moderate amount of weight reduction and I was wanting to compare. We will have the final numbers in 3 weeks, but I am right around 3580# with my fat butt in the car. |

Seriously, yes I did a lot of weight reduction, however, I didn’t get behind the dash, I carried two big ole lead acid batteries, a dry sump with about 13 quarts circulating, four fuel pumps, two big ole turbos, and 3.5inch exhaust from front to rear… With the 10 point DOM tubing cage… she was a skoch on the hefty side… I still set a World Record pass in the Standing Mile for 5th Gens… Still enjoyed a smoke and XM radio on the drive back to the pits… about 5 minutes…

The Wki page says 3750 lbs
I scaled mine bone stock the day after I bought it with 1/2 tank of fuel and it was 3850 lbs I always like to weigh my cars before I baseline them.

I do want to find more weight to shed. A lightweight battery would be a nice, big chunk. Lightweight crashbars, removing the washer fluid tank, and some other little things and I might be able to scrape together another 100lbs of reduction. I'm pretty unwilling to compromise on creature comforts, so I think that my cars weightloss journey is fairly limited overall.

I agree on scaling stuff, gotta know where you stand, and where changes get you. I'm lucky to have a grain bin site just a couple miles down the road, and their scale is always on, so I just roll through in the evening and grab a weight.
