You can cut several hundred pounds by taking out seats, electronics, engine, tranny, brakes, rotors, steering column, and several other things.
You could probably get that particular car down to right around 1000lbs and possibly less.
While it is probable that the commercial was CGI, someone like Upshaw may actually be able to do that to a small skeleton car.

Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
Who the hell cares, the commercial was cool as shit and Upshaw is a beast who if he continues to improve will be another in a long line of steals that Ozzie has performed at draft time.

Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
Actually, if I heard that right and the cars weighed 700 kilos (about 1550 lbs), then that proves HR's point--the car at ~2390 would be too much. Particularly as the Toyota in Upshaw's commercial would almost certainly have a lower center of gravity and therefore be harder to tip over. Thanks for the video though.
HR, I stand corrected.

I thought I'd throw this back to the top with how well our Rookie has been doing. Hopefully he can keep it up and not hit any wall.

Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
I know a guy that can actually lift the back of a car off the ground. He is a roided out powerlifter though. lol
