Default Ef falcon weight?

I wonder if someone has completed the usual gutting of an e series falcon and actually had the car weighted? I see they list a factory curb weight somewhere between 1,536–1,704 kg. I have been considering gutting the 347 EF and keeping for a day car at the local strip. Gutting includes all interior, ABS, cruise control, power steering, A/C and so on. Any takers? Cheers John

Thanks for that. I have started removing bits and will be interested to see the final weight.
Cheers
