Default 3280 lbs...Jeebus im fat

Just pulled the car onto the scale. With half a tank of gas, big *** cd case, spare tire and jack I am right at 3280. So i think with me (205) with a helmet (4-5 lbs?) and the front swaybar and jack and spare out i could be at 3450 give or take a few lbs.

Just thought you guys would like to know as i think i can go low 12's on radials at this weight and with my setup. Iim starting to get really anxious for bremerton to open.

I would like to get a true weight on the lowly LT1, on the door it lists at almost 4300.

Where is a legal place to get a true weight gassed up?

Well **** i hope my little 245/50/16 kumho 711's can hang.

didn't know you could heat up straight radials for added traction.

Maybe i should set my sites on 11.9's.

Without me, and with a half tank of gas, mine weighs in around 3550.
After I got done lightening the load in my old Neon it weighed in at 2250. That thing handled like a little roller skate.
Going to a Camaro from something like that, you can definately feel the weight difference.

You guys make me sick. My car weighs 3900 with me & 1/2 tank of gas. Once I get the cage in it will be right at 4k. And I WILL run low 12s, maybe an 11.9 on GOOD day. (no I am not whining....it's my goal to run in the 11s with a full dress cam-only car)

Only after your extra shot of nitrous from your 2nd bottle blows the welds on your intake manifold.
