OK, thanks. I didn't realize it was that much.

copied paste albertos post from regional track meet post
Wanted to add in these #'s so everybody has them for future reference. if you see your car and would like to specify if yuo had any weight reduction such as spare/tools or anything else(gas level) make note...
Me = 3125-3/4 tank of gas, no spare, no passenger seat
Ryan-Black G = 3600
Dan (Celica) = 2325
Osix-Mike = 3170 **I told you the 06's werent heavier
Rico(sp?) Nightshade = 3170
Booby Ritz-Rob = 3500
Project Sherv = 3450
Ben-Poopra = 3160
Kirk-Orange Z = 3160
Bob-Silverstone = 3230
Integrity-Charles = 3180
David = 3060 *Lightest Z there
Mike-MDRacer = 3290
Tony-EVO = 3190
Last but not least Brents roadster aka The tank = 3770
Pretty cool we did this guys for those that have dyno'd you can now calculate very accurate power to weight.

Does anyone know what was changed that added all the supposed weight gain? Not saying its not just wondered what was added because lights didn't add that type of weight. As far as performance numbers has any mag or anybody else actually tested the 06. I know bigger brakes and different specs on engine but never seen an actual test.

The above weights are from our track day. As you can see "Osix" and Bob were no heavier than the rest, certainly not 200lbs like everybody thinks the 06' Z's weigh....that myth is BS! Any year Z, 6mt is a drivers race to 60mph and down the 1/4.

No way in hell though, with his cage and rims that look heavy, Id bet hes over 3200lbs EASY....TTW that list David posted was a copy/paste from my old post after the track day. First one where it says ME-3125lbs-was my car. Pretty light for adding 70lbs of turbo kit to the front end and doing other weight reduction I think.
