3160 in my 2001 Z06 with a full tank of gas. I put all the gas I could into it and rolled 2 blocks onto the scales at the airport.

Why would you do that? Military DITY move? I did the same thing although no blocks. Loaded up the car with everything I wanted to put in it for the move while it sat on the trailer plus a full tank of gas...think I came up with around 3500 lbs.

Nope, no moving. I had a friend who worked air cargo at the airport. I was down there dropping off some jambalay dinners from a charity meal sale we did, and figured I would like to know. I also know they calibrate the scales everyday, and they are use to weighing containers about 2000 to 6000 lbs. So I figured it has to be the most accurate reading I could get.

I didn't know those, because I actually bought a coupe and converted it into a FRC. My bro owns a Z06, but does not have the "HUD" option since it was a 2001.

I weighed mine the other day, with black motorsport wheels (40-50 lbs heavier than stock I believe) and a partition with mods in sig mine weighed 3100 even with a 1/4 tank of gas.
