Went to pick up my car today from speedware motorsports. They did a mount balance, alignment and corner weight on the car. I had never weighed the car before so I was real curious as to what the total weight of the car would be. With my weight in the drivers seat and 3/4 tank of fuel my hog came in at a LOFTY 3700lbs!!!

I was figureing it would be in the 3300-3400 but HOLY SCHNIKIES! 3700lbs! My car is a fricken road tank! On the bright side the coner weighting came in at 50.1% (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and front to rear is 51% and 49%. I am pretty damn happy with those numbers. when I got the car on the freeway it tracked like a missile down the road. This is the first time I have had a custom alignment done. I cant believe I havent been doing this from day 1. *6 days till go time |

LUXURIES!! WHAT LUXURIES!!
My car is a no interior, fiberglass race seat (no padding), no stereo having, burn your arms sheetmetal door panel, no cold AC kind of car! Even has a CF driveshaft. This thing is STRIPPED. The only big chunk of weight I havent removed is the heater core. But there isnt any way to do that with my cage. BUT 6 points of "1 3/4, .120 wall chrome moly does add up. Then the Moser "9 with 31 spline axles, the big LG radiator plus a few other things. I don't have any speakers in the car but the amp and head unit are still there. I am going to have a hard time parting with the tunes though. Rest assured after this run, the car will be going on a SERIOUS diet. The biggest mess I want to get at is behind the dash. And that is a no go. But I figure all of the seem paste thats in thier has got to weigh something. I just have to figure out how to get it off then I can weld all the seems. I am going to try to get it down to under 3500 with me in it. But I don't think its going to be possible. |
