I weighed my FB last night...........

I was at the track last night and they had a weight scale there so my curiousity struck me and went to go see how fat my baby is ......she came in at 2,415lbs (with no passergers and about 3/4 full tank of gas)! I have a GS no sunroof or powersterring. But i DO have AC that i am NOT getting rid of because the texas summer heats are UBER HOT and i need my cold air! Have any of you guys wieghed your cars recently?

took my 81 to the dump beacuse they have scales there to see how much weight you go in with and leave with and it determines how much they charge you, that was about a year ago so i cant remember how heavy it was.

Got my weighed last month

2640 total weight dry with no gas with a 1364/1276 front to rear split with the following:
s-5 13bt, transmission, front crossmember with rack and pinion steering big brakes etc, a/c p/s, 8 point roll cage welded in, and my stereo. on track days I remove the stereo and she drops about 100 lbs but gains it back in gas.

My "Brown Skywriter" is light enough for me to push up a 45 degree incline by myself... that's only because it's just the shell with wheels and windows.
