heavy ass car

[Chachi]

i weighed my car today . it weights 4156 lbs . 52% in front and 48% in the rear . Almost perfectly balanced . we weighted other cars to. imports may be small but they are not light!! fox body mustang weighted in at 2900 lbs. a 93 accord weighed in at 3350 lbs. lancer was about 3400 lbs.
if you get smoked by an import power to weight ratio has nothin to do with it!!

your weight seems just about right on, maybe a little heavy but not much.

My 85 should weigh in at around 3600 hopefully.

Wonder what an el strippo box with an aluminum headed 351W and a cage would weigh?

I'm talking gutted hardcore.

Don't you have a bunch of equipment stereo and airbag/hydraulic stuff in the trunk? Uslydawgs 81 Colony Park wieghs 4180 with about the same distribution...

[Blaze86Vic]

Yeah, I think the gross weight for Vic is like 3600-3700 stock.

Gross weight is 52XX# Curb weight for my 97 is 3875# a SN-95 Mustang (94-98) is about 3500-3600 #. I think the boxes weigh about 3900-4000#. I think the title says something like 3900# but im not sure how close that really is.

I'm trying to get my unlce to let me use the city scale to find out for sure.

are there any metal recycling places around you? they might let you drive on their scale for the 3.2 seconds its gonna take to weigh the car.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I'd just drive down to the DRMO on base, mang...

They got a scale.

[Blaze86Vic]

What is the DRMO? Maybe I'll do that if I can figure out where it's at.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Defense Recyling Management Office.

[Blaze86Vic]

Hmm, don't really know where it's at....

ya, 6 batterys, 2 pumps, about 2 gallons of hydro fluid, and lots of steel

[mrltd]

Yup, that'll do it....

What did a turbo'ed Miata weigh in at?

(as a hint, the Miata in its first generation form generally appeared on titles at 2300 pounds or less...turbo weight can easily be factored in and accounted for through the loss of other weight. Granted, the Monster Miata with the 5.0 shoehorned in will not be that lean )
