Idk haha I drove the car up on the scale got out and when I went into the office the lady was all done. I figured it quickly out if gas weighs 6lbs a gallon and the take is 19 gallons thats 114lbs of gas which would mean my car weighs 3606lbs which would be right around where I have calculated it to be with stuff ive added/ taken off +/- 5lbs.


Actually that has to be without me because if it was with me there is no way my car weighs 3520lbs

That's not bad I guess I wonder what mine will weigh in once I have done all my mods I want. I know your not done with shedding some weight but that is much lower than our V8 counter parts.

You really only loose that little going with coil overs? The battery is about 15 right? And do you know how much the rear seat weighs? I would think like 20 pounds.

The rear seat is about 45lbs, braille battery is about 20lbs and coilovers and depending on what brand of coilovers (i'll be going with BC racing those are 15lbs lighter) depends on how much weight is saved there. pfadt featherweight are super light

I would have thought the BC coil overs would have shed more weight. The More I think about it I don't think I'm going with coil overs. I was adding up all the mods I want and that 600 dollar difference from drop springs could be used to buy my IPF tune and module. I'm never going to be racing so the coil overs would be a little over kill
