Ok i'm trying to find the real weight of these(my) car's. All i can find is 3311lbs, and if i take the GVWR 4239 and subtract the max passenger load of 701 I get 3538lbs. Now i weighed it last year at the track and it came in at 3450lbs with the 3/4 tank and very heavy 17x11's, and i had removed about 150lbs(could be less) from her before that. So 3538lbs seem's right to me, but...
The National Time Trial(NASA) director tells me he has this car list from the NHTSA at 3408lbs (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The rule package is such that i could show up with a car thats 70% gutted and only get 1+ point's for weight reduction (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) if i do it 1 way, or +4 to 8 for the other way. So basiclly i need to find an accurate weight for these car's with all the options on them! Anybody know where? |

Couple of days ago I went to the truck stop and put the car on a CAT scale and it came out to 3420 with a hair over a 1/4 tank. For weight reduction I have a 35lb hood, no rear seats, no rear floormats, no spare/jack, no windshield washer fluid, and a few misc things. Its a trans am FWIW.
