I guess the 1LE is not what I expected it to be.
No worries. It will have the last thing you mentioned and it will also have a number of other track upgrades. Looks good to me for the price.

But that Track Animal you are describing is what the Z28 faithful are hoping for. Not sure about the stripped down interior. That is an easy DIY. I saw somewhere else the Camaro front seats are incredibly heavy.

That lighter Camaro is coming later. Too expensive to do much with this one me thinks.

Sorry I meant the Z28 section. Taking the car and doing some personalizing is part of the excitement. I listed my plans above.

And Fraxum I'm with you on price it's part of the reason I won't buy a ZL1. That and I want my Camaro to be NA.

I dont but that's a good question. They obviously are much more than most thought they'd be. No wonder why they use a lift to install them at the factory. Seems getting a 1LE down to Mustang GT weight is possible with a few changes.

Not to question anyone's stats or intent, but here's a listing of GEN-FOUR CAMARO components, throughout the car:

http://www.lt1engines.com/tech/camar...f-body-weight/

Driver's 6-way Power Leather Seat = 42 lb.
Passanger's non-powered seat = 34lb.
Passanger Air Bag = 17 lb. (includes bracket)
Driver's Air Bag = 10 lb. (which is likely the weight of the seat bags)

So, removing TWO 6-way Seats (from a Gen-5) that contain TWO Air Bags is gonna total a bit over 100 total, imho. Add back the weight of the replacements (and their tracks/adjusters/adaptors), and you have a net weight loss of (maybe) 50-70 lb... One-piece seats will weigh less, but offer NO recline adjustment beyond fore-aft. Two-piece aftermarket seats, with adjustable seatbacks, will diminish the weight savings further. And typical aftermarket seats are NOT air bag-equipped.

Notice the difference in weight between non-powered and powered seats...6.9 lb/ea, so 1LS seats would save 14 lb (with Air Bags) over 1SS seats, while maintaining OE safety standards for street driving.

Notice deleting the rear seats (29 lb) and belts/retractors (5 lb) = less than ONE front seat...

Notice the A/C compressor and condensor, and Power Windows/Locks/Keyless weigh a total of 32 lb...which pops the "urban myth" that Gen-4 1LE F-cars weighed a LOT less...they didn't!

Are both the leather and cloth seats the same weight?

Now? No. The Leather seats have heaters (and heavier-weight material)...a couple or three pounds each seat.

Well, I doubt they sent the Gen-5 components to a FattenUp-Farm...excepting the side air bag-equipped seats...and, of course, those cast 20s...

A/C delete doesn't save a huge amount of weight but it IS weight at the front of the car which is generally a bad thing.

A c/f Ram Air-Extractor hood and prop-rod on a Z28 would likely = A/C-delete, weight-wise...

An smc-based hood (like Gen-4 SS/Firehawk) would be a few pounds more.
