Camaro 2.0t weight reduction

Jordzns · 04-11-2023, 12:23 AM

I have a convertible 2.0t, I saw on google it weighs around 3600 pounds around there. Anyway I can do a weight reduction besides removing or modifying the seats? I already removed my rear muffler.

Non run flat tires can cut around 6 lbs per tire. Tire rack has 20-9, offset 20 mm wheels, 23.5 lbs, $350 each. Cut about 7 lbs per wheel.

The smartest and best thing to do is replace the 4-cylinder engine with a 6.2-litre 8-cylinder engine. Power to weight of V-8 will replace your frown (never to be remedied by your weight reduction scheme) with a giant, happy grin.

wheels and tires will help also lightweight battery like antigravity remove rear seat etc

Unless you are building a dedicated race car, you aren’t going to notice much of a difference hacking up the car for street driving. You can knock 90 pounds off the car by running 4 gallons of gas in it.

What’s the purpose of the weight reduction?
