Car weighed in at 1934# - Don't know how :)

I went to a local race track yesterday to get on the scale and I was surprised that it weighed in so low. I was expecting 2000 give or take 10 lbs. My friend and I then got in the car and the weight went up by the amount of our body weight so I think the scales were pretty accurate:

Weight reductions:
rear panel delete
TR forged wheels
Arqray stainless single
PPE header & sport cat
Braille battery

Weight addition:
BWR SC

If you had about a 1/2 tank of gas then it's pretty dang close:

2006 Exige = 2014.0 lbs.

-13.5 Braille
-12.0 Arqray
-4.5 Rear Panel
-13.8 TR F1 wheels
-8.0 PPE header
-10.0 Tillet CF seats
+20.0 BWR SC

= 1972 lbs.

-37 (1/2 tank)

= 1935 lbs.

You are indeed correct. Makes me excited to shave some more weight.
