Default What does your car weigh??

My car with me in it is 3750 in race form. It is fully loaded, pwr windows/locks, leather, and is also a daily driver. I weighed 200 when I weighed it. Does 3550 sound right?

My car weighs 3115 by itself. I'm 185 so my raceweight is right at 3300. I have a 6 point bar, and iron block. I plan on dropping another 100 lbs or so soon.
