Do it right, do it once

My 93 R1 weighed 2796lbs with a full tank at an SCCA event. There is 15 gal of usable gas in the tank at 6lbs a gal that is 90lbs. That puts the car at just over 2700lbs. I have a 51R battery, DP, intake, CB as weight savers but I also have an M2 IC, rear seat, cruise, shocks and springs and factory CD player that add a few pounds.
I think a stock base would be close to that 2660lbs with an empty tank, maybe 2700lbs even. I wish people wouldn't weigh the cars with empty tanks so we can all compare.

Actually, I've ran it down to E a couple of times and added about 17.5-18 gallons. Mazda always leaves 2 gallons past E (or they used too), so 20 gallons seems to be legit. Although I have hit fuel starvation with 1/8 tank left on a freeway entrance ramp...not funny.
