Well done. Only took 3 passes and your car has a lot more left in it . Very impressive at that weight of your car . 10.5s next. You forgot to mention your 60-130 record too 6s next. Let’s gooo
Did you weigh it after the weight reduction? Curious what it's at.
I think mine (fully gutted though) is slightly under 3300lbs now. One of the events I go to every year has the circuit and strip rented. I should yank the wing off and give her a rip down the strip.

3300lb is impossible
i doubt your car gutted is even 3400lb
should be in the 35xxlb range!
To be 3300lbs it's pretty much everything interior wise. Sunroof is just a poly panel with windshield molding, no dash, poly for the door windows.
Things to get it lighter
Titanium exhaust.
Carbon doors, trunk lid and hood.
Poly rear glass and front windshield.
Thin out wire harnesses.
Carbon driveshaft (only saves 8-10lbs though)
Helium in the tires?
I bet you can get it to 3100.
3440 minimum you think I could get anywhere close still with the dash, door panels, headliner, carpet still in place? With two carbon pole positions at around 6kg each, a full oem sunroof delete panel, rear seat belts delete, rear seats delete, spare and tools gone?
I know the door panels don’t weigh much at all, id be willing to delete everything inside the rear ones and the subwoofer too if it got me close to that weight but still think I would be 150-160 off
If gzim335 got 3610 and the only extra it looks like I would do is the sunroof delete over his probably 20kg but I wouldn’t do a carbon truck/his wheel set up, Before I start the major stuff I have got at least 22kg out of it from wheels, brakes & exhaust but I need to weigh some more things to see how much more it might be. I know the kw struts a definitely lighter than stock and so are the adjustable arms I have put on.

This is what 3400 looks like so I'd say not a chance. @gzim335 would be a better person to ask about what you can get it down to without going full retard lol.

Yeah I aint going that far 😂, I guessed what he had done above and he said yes plus a lightweight battery. So looks like it will be similar weight to his but minus the sunroof.

That 3400 was with the OEM battery as well. I have an Antigravity 60Ah now that's under 20lbs.
I forgot to mention that 3400 was with the AC completely removed.
