This car initially weighed 3165 upon completion in 2005. mega-block hemi, steel[except hood], factory glass, 90%+ interior. It currently weighs about 120 lbs. more. [bigger cooling, alternator, bigger full system, and heavier wheels/tires]. Lots of hidden holes, deleted original parts, chrome-moly, aluminum, lightest components available, and liberal acid-dipping in the front. Nothing weighs less than a hole.
I have a complete to rear-bumper exhaust system, and it gets street-driven on occasion.

Nice !!! I like it !!!
Mine was 3,043lbs prior to the fiberglass bumpers/brackets and Lithium battery. I'm about to get it weighed again at my chassis shop, but we're thinking it's around 2,960lbs now. Probably close to 52/48 balance since I took weight off the rear.
Full interior. Back seat. Sound deadener. No holes. All steel body. Dana 60. 904. No heater

I would love to have a lightweight car due to the fact that doesn't require as big of a motor to go fast. I personally really like cars that are stockish looking and haul the mail. I think it's a compromise of what you really want. I like my roll up and down windows, being able to open and shut the hood with the hinges, etc.
