Weighed the Car again...

I weighed the car at Roebling Road Raceway again this past weekend.

2265 lbs with me in it & full tank of gas. I'm 160 lbs.

670 538
550 507

52/48 cross weights. I'll be making more coilover adjustments before Barber next month. The car is a hoot to drive. I love it!

Stock 12A, Gutted, caged, engine bay has most unneeded items removed, Respeed Coilovers, nothing under the dash, 13x7 wheels with 225-45 hoosiers. Other mods are in the sig. I love this car.

Wow, that's a hell of an improvement man! I just weighed mine last week on the truck scales at work (not sure how accurate it is at these weights since its meant to weigh semi trucks).

With everything that's not needed removed from the engine bay, an aluminum water pump housing and water pump, no spare tire, full tank of gas, and me (170 Lbs.) she weighed in at 2440. Gonna have to put her on a diet I guess.

Any chance you could borrow them for a weekend? I'm thinking the weekend of June 15th would work out nicely. I'd even pay a rental fee if necessary...

2440? had to read that twice, so its 2270 WITHOUT driver, good!

if you wanna loose weight, start reading nutrition labels, anything with fructose/sucrose or wheat, just avoid, 10lbs easy right there
