MY '00 - Had it corner-weighed today
So the guys from the local dyno were out at autocross today with scales and were weighing cars. They put a scale under each wheel and then give you a slip with total weight as well as weight under each wheel, front/rear distribution, left/right distribution and the whole nine.
Anyways, my '00 is turbo'd, has exhaust (much lighter than stock for sure but by no means comparable to a titanium system), and has 18" OZ Super Leggera's (relatively light as far as 18's go from what I understand...265r/225f)... aside from that, stock suspension, brakes, stereo, everything. No braces, no carbon fiber this or that, etc. I even have the jack and spare tire in the trunk. Car was weighed with 3/4 tank of gas.
Total weight without me in it = 2806lbs
Weight distribution without me in it = 50.5 front/49.5 rear
Weight distribution with me in the car = 49.5 front/50.5 rear
Anyhow, thought some of you might be interested so I figured I would post the results.

yup, what I found interesting was the weight distribution... basically when I sit in the driver's seat, I am taking 1% away from the front and adding it to the rear for a 49.5/50.5
I think if I go on a diet maybe I can get a perfect 50/50 with me in the car
Or maybe just run with less gas in the tank and get rid of the spare and jack 
Oh and 00-01 should be a little bit lighter than 02-03, don't forget about the plastic window.

Corner weight should be nice.
