it was corner balanced with nitron double adj, SJ racing 15"/16" and toyo RA1 205/245 tires. five bars on the fuel gauge. no driver, stock seat.

2,006 lbs.

The 06 tail lights, grilles, pedals, and seats are supposed to lighter than the 05 versions. Did the 06 add weight elsewhere? Maybe the DBW adds a few pounds. My 05 was 1905 lbs with a full tank and hard top. If you compare weights on quality corner weighting scales there should not be more than a few pounds difference.

We will be weighing a couple of "S" cars at Carl's garage tomorrow -- I'll report back on the weights and any weight saving mods.

Longacre scales are accurate to .1%. It better not rain, still on the slicks.

Weighed my car today at 1980 lbs. Was 2060 on same scale when it was completely stock and 2 bars short of a full tank.

Today I was 2 bars short of empty, 5 lb battery and 8 lb exhaust. About 50lbs saved with those 2 parts and I only roll with half a tank of gas.

The car jumps a bit more now. I can definitely feel the 80 lb difference. That with the green filter and exhaust, it's a great combo...now I just need to finish up my Gotham install and all hell will break loose.

I'm sure I can get it to 1890-1900lbs once I'm done with everything. Goal of 285hp...gives me power to weight ratio of 6.66

Woo-hoo!! That's freakin' awesome!! Kinda comfirms what I thought.. the the pre-bumpered 07 is much less that what peeps have been claiming - closer to 2100 lbs. My shipping weight was 2011 (but unknown gas level - suspected at least 2 gals), and so I should also see the same -50 lb weight loss with the 5 lb battery I just received. A few other lightening goodies and I'll be below the weight of my old Elise!
