    Weight savings of Racing seats

    I read somewhere that the CS weights 110kg lighter than the 360 Modena after it goes on a big diet of light weight components including the racing seats.
    Does anyone know what is the estimated collective weight difference of the standard Sport seats vs the Racing seats?

    44lbs.
    Which is partly why I think a racing seat, CCM car is interesting at 84lbs lighter than a regular F430, half of that being un-sprung weight...... That's about 33% of the total weight savings Ferrari shaved when converting a 360 Modena to a Stradale. So a racing seat & CCM F430 is 1/3'rd Stradale. (F430 Str)

    Thanks for the "en-lightening" response
    And if you remove all the carpets?

    In the US at least, closer to half a stradale! I believe many ppl have found the CS is merely 150 lbs lighter...not the 243 advertised...
