I know foxes get down to around 2400-2500. I dont see why a c5 couldnt achieve the same. You can probably save some more weight by running different doors, hatch, hood, and fenders if need be.

The beauty of the GTM is that it IS a cage. So while exceptionally light, it's still pretty impact safe, and can function as a street car with an A/C, Radio, etc. at around that weight. Well, sort of. There is no storage at all AFIK, one of the things that's impressive about the Vette is the hatch space.

You can delete carpet,.sound deadening, race seats, some interior, magnesium wheels. Still dont see 500lbs there but who knows. Those gtm's are basically a roll cage with body panels.

How hard was the A/C delete? I want to do this. Did you need to get a idler pulley for the belt? ANy assistance is greatly appreciated.

The ac compressor has its own belt running off the crank pulley so you wont need a new belt. The compressor just bolts on with four bolts to the side of the block by the motor mount. Comes off easy, just disconnect hoses and the sensor. After that just remove the hoses and remove the condensor from in front of the radiator. Youll notice the car will run cooler too with air directly hitting the rad now.
