Weighed the car...

I just weighed the car with my 170lb *** in it while I was at Road Atlanta. Using Longacre scales:

2428 lbs (w/170 lb driver and 3/4 tank of gas)

FL: 708 FR: 591

RL: 577 RR: 554

53% front
47% rear

Crosswieghts are 48%/52%

Car doesn't have coilovers yet. I've removed most of the interior and have a Kirk Racing 4pt bar and Sparco Ultra racing seat. Most of the stuff in the engine bay that isn't used to make the car go fas is out. 13x7 circle racing wheels with 225/45 hoosiers. I'll be installing an 11 lb PC545 drycell battery which will knock off some more weight. I'm also starting an excercise program.

I'll try to weigh her again at Roebling Road in May.

That's not bad at all! I figure mine weighs around the 2314 Lb mark (SA though). You will love it with the coilovers installed, they make a noticable difference

wow thats a good number. adding the dry cell is a big weight reduction in my opinion. i have an odyssey pc680 in my car. small motorcycle battery, but reliable as hell. just dont let it sit for +2weeks.

I moved it around the house and then put it in the car myself. It is more than likely around 60-70 lbs, no less.
