How much does your T/A Weigh? Race Weight? Thanks for viewing-
If any of you are fortunate enough to have access to a scale, or have been to the scale at the track lately and know how much your car weighed stock and at "race weight"?
Please post any pertinent car info that would affect your weight substantially too.
Thanks!

i can't remember exactly how much my pig was at the track, i weighed at like 36XX but also had a bunch of my friends crap in there that i was helpin him drop off after the track. I'd say with all the crap out and spare tire n crap i'll prolly be like 3500 even or so.

My buddy's 02 Formula A4 was 3330lbs without him in it. Cloth seats, no cd changer, every other option. No spare tire/jack or backseat. 1/2 tank of gas. Only mods are stall and magnaflow catback.

I think my car weight was 3150 with me in it, when it was a street car. I used almost all of the tricks on the weight reduction list!

So your all badasses, I get it. I'm working on it, gotta pay for med school first, T/A second. (If I had my priorities straight i would be running 10's)
So what would MY weight be like. Assuming bone stock, and 160 lb driver.

My car was 3690 stripped. no sway bars, no rear seat, no, spare or bottle, less than an 1/8 of fuel, prostars, alum driveshaft
now it has a standalone, heavy spohn dragbar, and a steel shaft
the way I drive it on the street is close to 4000 without me.
