Weight - How am I doing?

For giggles, and to get a better idea on proper spring rates for my couple overs, I weighted my '75. She came in at 2,326lbs with 1/2 a tank of gas. Keep in mind she has a steel wide body, 17' Euromiester Fuchs, and VERY heavy (maybe someone lead lined it) hood with 9" rally lights, bolt in 1.2 cage, and glass bumped & decklid.

I am not seeing out to make a light weight street car per-se, though I am trying to be weight conscious.

My stripped 78 911 SC race car weighed 2450 with a full cage so I don't think your wide body street car is very heavy!
