Finally weighed the car Went to a digital scale this week. Weighed 3440 with me in (with some stuff in the car), after this years weight loss. Then made DETAILED calculations, by weighing the parts that differed this year from last. Result was 3547 lbs. Within 3 lbs of my estimate that was challenged so many times by a few guys. I'm happy that my info was accurate (thanks to Nineball for a good starting point). But a little dissapointed that I didn't come in lighter this year.
Either way, my raceweight this year should be right at 3400 lbs once I put the panels and carpet (lightweight, not stock) back in that are out right now for cage install.

Re: Finally weighed the car Wow Dave pretty close to your 3550 guess.

Re: Finally weighed the car Damn I'm good! I'm usually pretty good a guessing raceweights, the ONLY car I haven't figured out is ProStockJohn's slightly gutted hardtop Formula weighing in at 3700 lbs vs my fully-loaded Formula with no weight removed weighing in at 3550 lbs.

Dave, thanks for weighing your car and posting the results. The fast folks always get questioned.
