weighed my NA the other day...
they didnt let drag race, sicne i had a big crack in my widnshield, said it was a track hazzard. whatever ill get it fixed soona nd go back 
so on the way back from the drag strip, at the certified CAT scale i was passing. it was at 2440 lbs with 1/4-1/3 gas in the tank, the amount i drive with all the time anyway. i still had a few toys in the car, atelst 20 lbs. car ahs full interior, its an S5 with power widnows, power seat bealts, and all that good stuff. i do not have PS, AC, no spare tire, (i still have to get a fix flat kit) hardtop, no rear wiper, no wing in teh back, fc2000 bumper, many of you seen the engine bay i assume so you know not much there either. but as far as comfort goes its all ther and functioning except ps and ac if u can call that comfort.
anyone else weight theirs?

Holy **** that's light for a S5!
I wonder what the difference is between non-sunroof and sunroof equipped cars.
Any pics of the engine bay?
Good job man, and with a full interior at that! Have any other plans to get that a little lower? You're skimpin on FB weight there!
I assume this is WITHOUT driver correct?
Anywho, awesome weight,
Jon

Kahren, where's CT? "achtung" is obviously german and german pounds are 10% heavier
than american pounds. just a curious thought. ich liebe die mutterland.
supposedly that setup makes "needing" a dual pulley less necessary.

Fritz.... i must go with 1revvinFC3S.... beer is a MUST when traveling long distances, and is a valuable ally on those lonely nights, or in post-stress situations.... beer is always your friend :-)
but drink responsibly - too many people try to outdrink each other, and there's no point -
it's all about getting drunk and having fun :-)

I was actually talking about the beerkeg that is striped with the alternator and other crap attached to it, in the middle of the engine bay.
Also I must add that this car is no joke for an NA...with stock ports...weird. Kahren I really think you need to post a small vid an give them a taste of this...keg.
