How much does your car weigh?

Question for all of you that have actually weighed your car: How much does it weigh?

Mine before I removed anything was 2626 (88 SE), after emissions removal and putting on my exhaust, I sit at 2560.

1. Your car does not weigh 2000 to 2100, sorry to burst your bubble.
2. You only need 1 post, there is an EDIT button you can use to add information if you want.

1220Kg which works out to 2690lbs. That's not bad I reckon, although I'll be doing some weight reduction eventually. It's a street car though, so nothing crazy.

90 vert. No a/c or PS, top is manual, no stereo, 14lb sparco seats, 17 lb wheels.
Lots of time spent removing unnecessary ****.
A bit under 2700lbs with a full tank.

^That's very good for a vert! As for Jager, I can only imagine how loud your car is... my friend has the corksport with racing beat presilencer and stock manifold and that thing was damn near obnoxious.

yep; one of my FB's (already a few hundred pounds lighter than the FC) was gutted as you say. everything gone! still a tad over 2000lbs. so yea, you're probably around 2500.
