Default Only 2740 pounds?

One of my friends told me that I can get my car weighed for free at the transportation department of my college. They have a scale which they use for their dairy department. So I decided to weigh the S2000. I had 1/4 tank of gas, I have 18" SSR Competition wheels (wheel/tire combo 1-2 pounds lighter than stock per wheel), removed windshield wipers (like 1 pounds) and spare and tools still in the trunk. Everything else was stock. The scale said 2740 pounds. I was expecting it to be 100 pounds heavier. Nobody was there when I weighed the car, so I couldn't ask someone about how accurate the scale was, but does 2740 pounds sound about right?

Ok, so it sound about right. Gutting the trunk can probably save about 50 pounds.

Couldn't Honda have done a better job? Imagine a 2200lb S2k!
Miata MX5 2500
MR Spyder is 2200
Saturn Sky is 2800

not to sound biased, but the honda is probably the safest of the lot. wonder how much it would weigh if it had an all aluminum body like the nsx.
