I always laugh when someone who's overweight shaves weight off their car... just saying. 6 foot and 170lbs, vs 6 foot an 270 lbs. Save the 100lbs on you, save the money and your life

I totally agree.. but im only five foot eleven and one hundred and sixty pounds.

Judging by these weights... I'm super heavy still compared to other cars. Looks like I should go find another scale and get weighed since I need to be as close to 2,850 lbs with driver this year. No sense in having extra weight in the car.

Haha, everyone's car will weigh the same, given the same model year, gas tank level and parts.
There's a lot more variation in scale accuracy than there is in same-spec car weights.
If you removed your soft top and your "weight" didn't change obviously that says something about the accuracy of the scales.
The most you can lose with a Titanium single exhaust is ~40 pounds. If it's steel, you will lose ~25 pounds. Intake is 5 pounds lost, if you're lucky. An entire tank of gas is roughly 80 pounds. There are fairly extensive lists of stock part weights elsewhere on the forums.
Unless you're completely stripping the car, it's a lot easier to compare weights by simply adding up the relative weights of the parts you have swapped.
