The easiest way for you to compare weights is to locate an article on the car in question, or check the factory weights in Gran Turismo 3. Those are accurate, too. Though they're in kilos. I don't have either in gront of me, so I have to go off of an educated guess which tells me an EVO is near 2800lbs.

As for weight reduction, stripping the interior, careful selection of parts (chrome 20in wheels tend to be heavier than one piece Enkeis), removing unnecessary devices (ac compressors, heater hoses and heater blowers) and either removing the bodywork under bracing, or replacing steel bodywork with carbon fiber, or lightweight fiberglass (not all fiberglass is light weight) should drop pounds quickly. It all depends on how hardcore you are.
