Actually, 3,395 lbs. for the car with a 1/4 tank of gas + me and my stuff = 3,560 lbs as shown on my Cat Scale receipt. (I weighed me and my stuff separately on a digital scale.) So, I'm guessing that my car probably weighed between 3,540 lbs. and 3,560 lbs. with me and my stuff in it? If that's the case, then there's a possibility that I would still get 3,560 lbs. even with the 13 lb. chrome moly SFC's that I had later installed.
