how in the world does a Duster weigh 3850?
I had an all steel one( except bumpers) X block, 10 point mild steel cage with halo bars, frame connectors, leaf springs, full stock interior including back seat, Carpet, stock dash, door panels, headliner, etc, etc and a Dana, and with a 300+ pound driver( me) car was a little over 3350

Stereo with monster cables and amp.. Full cage mild steel cage. Spare and jack with mat. full 3 1/2 " exhaust, R3 block . Full bucket seat interior. frame ties, The car was all original with all options but AC. 3850 across the scales. at the track. with draglites I was also puzzled. Pulled it off and pulled it back on twice. The car was all steel . When it was all original it weigh a little over 3200. So the cage. Ties. new drive line . Braced rear and everything we added for the coolers and the harness made up the difference.

That is why we went to everything light weight on the new car. the dash is now glass with no harness.

Even the engine is much lighter LOL
