So whose got the lightest C36/C43? I know we got a few with lightweight mods and semi stripped interiors

mine is the opposite, it got very heavy in the last few years.
all my added extra options got my car very phat n slow !

I'm surprised how the C43, C32, and C55 all have very similar curb weights. I was expecting the C43 to be in the 3200 lbs range.

and try to do a username search on 'speedybenz' too . Haven't seen him around much, perhaps he's moved onto newer/other cars? The site doesn't really go into it, but if you go through his posts, I think he talks about weight savings though. There is probably just a huge amount of weight that can be ditched from the car all over the place - seats, AC, heavy wheels, etc etc.

and if it's not Speedybenz, is probably one of us with a part out project

The W202 has got so much potential to become a better car (handling, braking, and accelerating) with just weight saving mods, just getting lighter:

- Front calipers/pads/rotors
- Car battery
- Wheels
- Suspension

And you'll probably ending up hanging with a stock C63 on track course

I weighed mine after removing the spare, jack, tools, secondary cats, and resonator and weighed in @ 3450 lbs. This was disappointing as this is the advertised stock weight but it must be the dry weight, I weighed with a full tank of gas, full windshield wiper fluid, oil, etc...

my thoughts exactly. i knew 202s were solidly built but damn

do you have a life?

perhaps, but if I wanted to lighten my 43 and cost was not an issue , I would start by ripping out the front seats and installing some Recaro lightweight buckets Find some lighter wheels (OZ or BBS) and replace front and rear hoods with CF items That should get some weight down without removing the creature conforts and compromise security

Mine weighs 3,286 lbs without me.

Removed spare, first aid kit (yes, go ahead and laugh. haha), plastic bellypan, random plastic pieces, lighter wheels, LED conversion (LEDs weigh less than normal bulbs, right? ), and maybe some other things...I forget.

In your tuning list, you mentioned an "TCU tune",,

Interesting...!!, How do you done that....??

ZAYED,,

It's that reset you can do with the key/gas pedal (thread about it somewhere). Not technically a tune (hence the quotes) but people (including myself) have noticed a bit better response.

Ahh,

I think you mean a "pedal sneaky reset",, i see,

Thankss
