3000LBS in a fully dressed car is going to be tough. Building some street / drag cars, we have trimmed some weight. Never get them under 3000LBS with full interior, full glass, etc.
To do it you will need to watch weight in the seats (most likely no factory seats), fuel tank (no stainless), roll bar (use chromemoly), Bumpers (fiberglass / CF is you best freind) and eliminate brackets. Obviously engine / trans / rear, All aluminum eninge (no forced induction), TKO trans (automatic too heavy, to much fluid / cooler), 9" rear rifle drilled axles and aluminum center section. Watch the brake weight, think aluminum hats, drilled and slotted rotors, aluminum master, (no booster / hydroboost), Ditch the leafs for a 4 link, Aluminum driveshaft, Watch the bondo! Primer/ paint build up! That stuff is heavier then you think.
In the end, if it is fully dressed you will probably still be 3200LBS!
