You can weigh it at your local dump. Also some diesel service places.

I had my chassis guy put it on his scales at his house. You won't believe how fucked up the balance is on these cars. He straightened it out with the anti-roll bar

i have friends with scales but i used cat scales lol i weight 250lbs and when i got off the scale the guys asked if i was 250lbs so they are dead on. If your driving down the interstate and see big yellow sign at a gas station that had CAT on it pull up on scales and i hope u can reach the bottom and then go inside it will be like 6$-$10 You even get a re weight if you want to lol

What increments do they measure in? I weighed my car at a local pilot with certified cat scales one time and it was exactly 3400lbs, but I didn't know if it went in 50lb-100lb increments or what..

When it comes to racing where driver is factored in, getting the most capable and lightest driver is a very important thing.

In a race, the jockey sometimes counts as much as the horse.

ha sorry for the i knew it was possible! 2800 race weight is what im trying to hit for my car right now, i'll post a thread on it in a few weeks, thanks guys

Everything behind the dash
AC, heat and full controls and ducts etc
ABS
TCS
stock suspension including kmember a arms etc..
stock glass
