Mine is 2200 without me. So, about 2350 with me in it.

mine with me in it was 2360lbs. no a/c, air pump, no bins, but i have a sub and amp and all carpet. if you want to weigh yours, go to the airport and see if they have those weigh stations. we have an abandoned one here in charlotte NC and i just pulled up on it and was like..... "WOOT" hahaha

2160 lbs, 1/4 tank no driver, last time I checked. More has been removed since. I have to make a return trip to see how much it's come down. If it hasn't dropped sufficiently I'm busting out the grinder. My end goal is a 2000 lbs car, I just don't know how I'm going to get there.

Ok something is not right here,

I got mine weighed like 9 months back and the guy told me it was 2250.

He didnt say if it was with me in it,if not then that means it would be 2075 and some change ..I wieghed about 190 at the time.

On a 84 GS,


Anyways,I will weight it again when im done rebuilding it,im going to take the tar out,how much do you really save by removing it?
