well technically the formulas are supposed to be lighter. but at most prolly 100 pounds lighter, unless you got a stripper/ no power car. then maybe up to 200 pounds lighter.

My car with me in it and a full tank of gas with a amp and 10woofer and box (that is not that heavy) I weighed in at 3640. Now on my birth certificate it shows the car at 3439. That is a 201 difference. I am 170.
