Figure 2700 no driver and a gallon in the tank and that is with pretty heavy aero.

2700 would be tough. You'd have to fully rip out the dash, door framing, replace panels with real carbon panels (not that fiberglass stuff with a layer of carbon on top), and start chopping away at the structural bits that are no longer needed with a cage.

I'm sitting at 3010 without driver but with fuel. Another 300 lbs is tough to find, but doable with some persistence.

I just meant in the context of getting a 370z down to that weight.

I think 2800 is possible. You can drop a lot weight removing driver and passenger windows, and using lexan for the rear hatch even if you don't do a carbon rear hatch. If legal lexan for the front windscreen.

I don't know exactly what my cage weighs, but I'm willing to bet my car is mid 2500's dry with no cage in....so you might need to find 500lbs haha.
