Check out this video of the Ultima CanAm LS7.

It says, it weighs in at 850Kg. Besides the LS7 engine, what else do you think the owner did to the car to make it that light?

not that much to be honest mine went through SVA with the tester sat in it and 2 full tanks of fuel at 970kg !!! tester said he weighed 90kg so 880kg car weight was i pretty good !!!

So 880Kg with fuel for the CanAm. If it's the GTR, it'll be 940Kg with fuel. With lighter engine, LS7, light weight parts like carbon/mag wheels, aluminum radiator, and light weight clutch, then the weight should be in the mid 800Kgs with fuel. Is this correct?

suppose it depends on what you put in it ....air con will be heavy + leather interior carpets etc and any extra bits for the engine eg...cats, fuel system, dry sump system as well all these bits add weight over the std car .
