Doing some weight math
I used to have a 1990 Pontiac Sunbird, that I junked minus the entire drivetrain, exhaust, cooling, and battery. The junkyard weighed it out to 1,980lbs. Factory curb weight was supposedly 2,502.
Does that sound about right for the removed components? And how much lighter can a car that general size go by stripping out needless stuff like plastic interior bits, carpeting, headliner etc?
I'm hoping to make a 5-seater electric with lots of usable trunk space that weighs in less than 2,500 curb. I don't plan on starting with a Sunbird chassis, but I'm following the general size of it.
