Gutting rear interior like the ACR saves 10 5 lbs

[Arizona Vipers]

Just like the subject says, I removed everything in my '13 that is not installed by the factory in the ACR. All carpets, insulation, moldings and the speakers. It saves 10.5 lbs if anyone is interested.
Everything is so light on these cars, it's hard to get weight off them.

The factory seats are 54lbs. You can get a race seat around 15 lbs, but add another 10-12 lbs for mounting plate and mounts, and if you want it adjustable another 8 lbs or so.

Arizona, how much weight have you been able to remove?

My car is 2980-3000 depending on which tires I'm running. And that includes the 75lbs of ACR aero.

Oops I mean 2980. There's no way possible to get these cars below 2800 even full gutted.

It's not a full race Halo seat but tillets carbon seat with brackets are about 10lbs together, that could be almost 100lbs deficit sans a passenger seat

An FIA approved mounting plate is over 10 lbs alone. You can get the side brackets down to 2lbs. And if you want it adjustable that's another 10 lbs per side.

I'm probably just not understanding, but couldn't you just anchor aftermarket seats to the factory mounts and be just as safe or a bit safer (fixed back seat) than the OEM/factory seat?

I would have kept all of that in, and just installed a lithium battery like the DSE offering, to save twice that weight.

How about both? lol

Haha yes! I can't imagine how absolutely sick your car must be on track at 3000lbs, full ACRE aero, 9L, etc. Must be absolutely unstoppable.

[TheStig]

Or I can stop going to Arby's everyday lol

[kriskyk]

I believe he already has a lithium battery installes

[ForTehNguyen]

can go to the gym and save more weight. However, I've been lifting weights and gained 15#. Viper is slower as a result

[MellowYellow_GTS]

Wow..what all have you removed/changed to get to 2780lbs?

Also curious!

[Snorman]

If you were really serious about weight reduction, you'd get one of these.
And use it. A lot.

Ah ok makes more sense now, I figured I was just completely missing something

By the way, if anyone wants to buy all this stuff to make their ACR a LOT quieter, please PM me an offer before I put it away in storage.

Arizona, I sent you a PM with a question about your 9 liter. Did you receive it?
