Back on the Scales

[OX1]

Thought it would be a lot heavier. Roll bar was advertised @ 52 lbs, DOCOL R8 and I turned
2 point kickers, into 6 point kickers, using slightly thicker wall DOM. I didn't weigh full cage/bar , but calculated about 70 lbs.

4108 with the cage? Not bad.

My CFTP was 4010 from the factory with less than half a tank of fuel.

My CFTP was 4010 from the factory with less than half a tank of fuel.

Last time I weighed mine before the cage, I had 4079, 5/8th tank.
Only non stock things then was Radar/lidar system, PPF on nose (only),
IRS supports/lockouts, and CAI. I think I removed spare kit/stock tow hook/floor mats.

4010 is I think the lightest I've ever heard (from someone that weighed it themselves).

Anyway, I'm surprised with cage and IRS supports, to be only a hair over 4100, but
my car with the same amount of gas as you, could never have reached 4000ish.
(assuming things I added/removed @ 4079 weight mostly canceled each other out,
and the 24ish lbs difference in gas weight of 5/8 vs 3/8).
Maybe my scales are "heavy" (which would make me happy)

other ref's I found

4006....... (1 gallon gas)

4120 (with full tank, which supposedly weighs 99 lbs)



With all that and your weight, my scales might be reading high.
But upside is I "corner weighted" the car by accident
(was 25% difference, now 13%) and moved weight distr
from 56.5/43.5 to 55.6/44.4, so there's that ...

Probably depends on how many pounds of air you have in your tires.
I know, shut up. I don’t even have a GT-500.

Oh, and how could I forget. Big weight savings from removing front spring shipping supports.
On the car for it's first 2600 miles until I got it.

I was surprised to read 93 octane supposedly weighs more than 87.

Ditto but in my case, it was the rear shipping blocks. The wife and I both kept saying,

"This car rides like an empty truck!"

Only took about 800 miles. <laughing>
