Does anyone know for sure if gross vehicle weight of the z, which says around 3900lbs, is with two ppl and a full tank of gas? or just the car itself? i'm tired of asking ppl who dont know what they're talking about...thanx

 

The GVWR is what the vehicle is rated at with a full load, basically. Which would be your cargo, passengers, fuel, etc. The actual weight of a 350Z sitting unloaded is about 3400 lbs. I believe.

 

thanx i appreciate it..

 

open your driver's side door and look at the data plate, or look in your owner's manual.

 

Bring your car to a weigh station.

 

I did this. they told me to gtfo

 

You probably pulled into one of the ones off the freeway, right?

I found a truck scale in an industrial area that they use to check after loading their trucks. It's always open and there's never been a problem with us using it. Just ask around your local car community. I guarantee you someone knows the local spot to weigh your car.

 

Thanks for asking but not going to go there again.

 

Try looking in your owners manual. In the section "Technical and consumer information" you'll find this....

Hmmm...read the owner's manual. What an interesting suggestion.

haha nobody does that...

 

My point exactly. Why go to an authorative, reliable source, when you can get so many myths, misinformation, and false opinions on a message board?

this is true if you remove the spare tire as well (i have the weigh station ticket to prove it haha)
