Remember that a Boxster Spec weighs 2650 lbs with driver and fuel. Without the driver, most are under 2400 lbs.

With that being said, under 2300 lbs is great work!

I was figuring the average was a 200lb driver, so 2450. Even at that weight there isn't much left.

I'd love to get my boxster down to 2250, even if it takes a bunch of fiberglass.

Yes with cage, race ready all fluids and a few gallons of gas. No driver.
All panels (doors, hood, truck lid are lighten to a single outer skin.
Doors are bolted on no hinges, No trunk and hood latches - using aero pins
interior is completely striped no HVAC, dash, hand brake etc
No head lights but it does have the windshield wipers
Roof is alum sheet
Windshield is polycarb
Remove battery and battery tray replace with Braille li battery and alum mount.
There is more to remove in undercoating and wiring.
Look through the pics and see the weight reduction on just about every component
