Went to the local scrap yard to pick up some money for a load of cars. Drove my 07 Z on the scale. Car is an enthusiast model. Had 19" iforged aeros plus spare and everything else in the back. This scale measures the the nearest 10pounds

Result: 3230lbs

Thats with me out of the car.

 

really.. is that a little light? i thought they were heavier?? guess not. either that or the scrap guy sets his scales light to pay less.. but that would NEVER happen.....

 

gas tank/fluids completely full?

 

just a little over 3/4 tank of gas

 

No because I measured it with myself in the car too and it was pretty accurate. These guys are huge and to alter the scale would mean law suits.
Just for reference they have state inspectors come in every 2 weeks to reset the scales. =)

 

I was kidding bud..

 

I know just pointing it out for reference just in case others question it
We're having a track days in the mid-atlantic forums. I will re weigh the car at the track then.

 

1st thing that popped into my mind as well.

JMHO.... but that scale is light.

 

Like I said I weighed myself and it got it right on the dot. I weighed myself at 198 pounds with a pretty accurate digital scale. With me in the car, the car weighed a total of 3420pounds.

 

sweet... I want to weigh mine at one of the "CaT" scales during a road trip...

I'd love to see it weigh in less than 3300 with a half tank!

It's actually pretty close.

The 3/4 tank of fuel could account for 40 lbs... How much weight saving (if any) could be attributable to your aftermarket wheels (all you need is a savings of 12.5 lbs per wheel to account for the scale weight)?

 

my wheels are tires are approximately same as the stock if not a little more. I say somewhere around 50-55lbs per wheel.
