You are right now that I think about it, the weight should be way down. For reference on my build which weighs in at 3680# street weight and 3321#'s race weight.
I saved 68# when I switched the front seats to Corbeau's. (I put the factory ones back in for now since i missed power features and heaters.)
Afco Drag pack saved 48#'s
Carbon Fiber decklid/spoiler saved 22#'s.
The carbon fiber hood doesnt save any weight since the hood is aluminum.
I saved 64#'s with 17" CCW rims, dont know what the ACR rims weight, but the SRT8 rims are lightweight Alcoa's from the factory.
I saved 58#'s with magnaflow exhaust, but I dont have resonators or mufflers since i have turbo's which count as a muffling device in VA.
I save 51#'s when I pull the rear seats, which I rarely do.
That is a nice net loss of 247#'s that the ACR should enjoy not including the door panels, console and such that Dodge put in to this concept. My front strut brace added 26#'s.
