Can someone give me an estimation of how much my car weighs?

I have a 2000 Formula, all options, but traction control. I have taken out the backseat and I weigh 160 pounds. I am thinking my trap is kinda low for my mods (ALL bolt-ons, and a cam 581 224 112) I ran only twice and hit 113-114 ish on a 1.8 and 1.9 60 ft. I dynoed 394 RWHP and 391 RWTQ, that is thru an A4 with Vig 3400.

Thanks for help.

TTT.

 

I have no idea what you and your car would weigh but if you have a local(city owned) recycling center go their an you can weigh your car for free. Thats what I did.

 

Ryan - the last 3 times I have been to GLD the scale has been working. I think it's about 10 lbs off though. It said I weighed 125 when I really am 135. My raceweight is 3445 with traction control.

i'm guessing your car could weigh anywhere between 3500-3600 lbs, depending on how much gas is in the tank, and without a lot of weight reduction. all option, cars with all the goodies usually weigh about that from what i understand. when checking around the boards you can look at others sigs and try to compare that way. Don't you wish you had my 3240 lbs race weight car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Where is the scale at GLD?

 

Is one of your boltons a set of heads??? 394rwhp with an a4 thru a converter with just a cam is awesome!

What was the DA at the track where you ran? Temp?

 

your weight without driver and with 16" wheeles is 3340 . I have no idea about traction control

Fahad..

 

Ryno, can you list the complete timeslip? I'd like to know what you 1/8mph was.

I had skinnies on the front and Weld XPs in back, however the XP's weigh almost as much as stock rims.

Bos - the scale is off to the right side of the return road...right around where the clocks are.

My 2000 Formula with all options except leather, traction control and cd changer weighed 3400 lb with a 1/4 tank of gas and no driver

 

My 98 strippo Formula was about 3390 lbs w/o me.

Got your rear seatbelts out too?

Then 3400-25=3375+160=3535lbs...

Make sure you are shifting your setup at like 6200 or higher or you might leaving some power on the table.

My raceweight is 3500 right now, I use the steel company scale near Izznatch.
