very easily my freind.... very easily... because my car was a 4 cylinder coupe (coupe weights 2900 curb weight in the v-8 models)
4 banger is a bit lighter and i got a race k-member which takes MASSIVE WEIGHT off the front end to help weight savings and weight Distribution. plus i got no heating system, no air pump, no charcoal system, no bumper supports (25-30lbs x 2) and various other little things here and there.
btw if you put your car on a scale with even your motor in it id be suprised if even curb it was near 2300lbs... keep in mind that is like the bare essentials, if you got a/c in your car its tacking in more lbs
most people never go to the scale on racedays and those who do are usually suprised at the outcome...
i had some people behind me give me the strangest look as they saw me get out and the curb of the car go to 2640 lbs, PLUS i had a full tank and it wasnt gutted either, i just drove to the track and straight on through to the staging lanes
