Depends on the build. I'm a big guy, 240lb, and I have worked extremely hard to eliminate all excess weight from my car, and it now weighs 2400lb with no gas. Most cars come in around 2450-2500lbs.

Cage is build dependant too. A stiff cage with FIA bars and all the bells and whistles in DOM mild steel can weigh 150lbs. Most will be in the 100lb region. CrMo steel can reduce the weight if needed, but the cost increases.\

Edit - corrected weights
