with me, my buddy and half a tank... 3100lbs
he weighs 165 i weigh 185: 350lbs
so the car with no one and half a tank weighs approx: 2750
does that sound about right?? i did it on one of those truck scales.

 

The best MOD for your car is make your buddy walk! j/k

I should know, because I way 185 too!!

 

yeah !! it's funny ...i didn't really notice that much difference in performance though..which is a testimate to the car, but i'm sure it makes some difference. we were pulling some hard corners..for sure..it was fun.

 

I've found that I run consistently quicker auto-x laps with a pssenger. Must be the corner weighting. Then again, I'm a little heavier than you guys are...

Half a tank of fuel? I assume you mean the fuel gauge bar was halfway down. If so, and your car does the same thing mine does, that would equate to about 5-6 gallons (mine shows empty at about 10.5-11 gallons consumed).

Ok, each gallon is around 6lbs. This results in 30-36lbs of weight missing from a full tank situation. 2750 + 30 = 2780, which puts you right about within the error of margin for the scales, your estimates of your weights (did you weigh yourselves at the same set of scales?), and other factors.

Of course, we don't know if the 2800lbs that our car is rated for is full tank or empty tank

 

elanderholm,

Cool...sounds pretty accurate.

 

yeah, i was surprised at how close it was...getting to the scale was fun!! had to cross a highway...pulled a 180 at about 25 in second gear...woo hoo!!

 

Mine was 2720 with 1/3 tank, Kumho race tires, and spare tire/tool kit removed.
