It actually weighs alot less than I was expecting.

Last year I weighed the car and it was 3310.

I just came home from the scales and it is now 3220. With me in the car it is 3420.

3220lbs WITH a blower and automatic trans makes me happy.

I wasn't aware my car had lighter seats than the earlier years. Congrats on the diet!

Only changes I've made since last year is lighter seats and a smaller battery.
The seats are from a 2008 car and have aluminum frames. (My OEM seats had steel frames.)
The smaller battery also saved me 15lbs.
I had 1/4 tank of gas and a full tank of alky.

3220lbs WITH a blower and automatic trans makes me happy.
weighed mine on the way to track Thursday.3180 auto loaded 1sb car with MSR and 1/2 tank of fuel
