LOL. ^Agreed. At times that I am brushed upon the thought that my car is heavy...I just think, "MKIV, MKIV, MKIV"...and then my car seems light again. ;)

Heres some pics of my 87 I gutted awhile ago. I refuse to give up my stereo though.

Can you even hear the stereo will all that out?! Damn mang I ditched my stereo long ago. My car is just too loud and bumpy to be listing to music @ hearing-preserving sound pressure levels.

i took my 89 turbo targa with leather interior 5 spd. weighed in at 3520 with me in it and a 3/4 tank of gas. ive removed ALL the a/c components, ALL the p/s. (same rack though) cruise control... took out the spare tire but i put a sub in its place so thats not much difference haha..

I found that my car had all the sound deadening removed before I got it. I really didn't notice much of a difference in outside noise level, can hear the radio just fine. Don't know how it would be comparable to a mkIII however.

I was always under the impression the heaviest mkIV was about 3500lbs, but I'm probably wrong, lol

My car weighed in around 3480 I believe without me,spare, or a backseat in it. I don't plan on taking much more out, I would attack those heavy as hell doors and maybe a CF hood if i had the money.

Its not too bad. I prefer to hear the engine over the music anyways.

+1 on that. Plus I am paranoid and always listening for sounds of trouble hahah
As soon as my daily driver is ready I am stripping out my car too.
