The engine weighs no more (and in fact maybe a tad less), seats, drive train, etc... only two add on`s weigh more and are the rear boot lid bar and the B pillar bar. The stock seat belts with its mechanisms will be removed as well for instance as will some other things when I track. You, as all, are more than welcome to visit the car and watch it perform at Willow springs.

I did note you said it should drop about 200 lb. I'm not trying to start an argument. I just wanted to know how you might get to 200. Some of the things I think will add weight are:
Intake, sways, tires, brakes (are you sure this particular kit, rotors and calipers and lighter than stock?), body/aero panels, boot and B-pillar bars.
I'd guess at least 20-40 lb heavier for these items. Just a real rough guess.
Either way, it is going to be one fine ride.
