Have you weighed your car?

State your model, options, amouint of gas and if you were in the car or not.


89 Formula 350
T-tops, a/c, all power accesories
-Aluminum heads
+SFC, STB, wonder bar

I weighed it at a self weigh truck scale today:

3410lbs with almost a full tank of gas!

(I expect this thread to be locked any second! Why is there no lounge??
but this sorta falls under history....)

Re: Have you weighed your car?

I dont think this is "lounge" material. It can be very useful but not in the History section... there are better spots for this question and it has been covered before. There is a thread where people are getting below 3000 lbs on a street car. Goodluck

Re: Have you weighed your car?

Ah heck, I'll throw mine it. It was weighed at a local highway inspection station. The details are below my avatar on the left.

Front - 2115 lbs
Rear - 1650 lbs
Total - 3858 lbs

Subtract Me - 200 lbs (I'm 6'2" so I'm not that fat )

Net - 3658 lbs

Re: Have you weighed your car?

Hi Glenn, sure could have used a few more familiar faces there at HPT. It's not the same as Forbes that's for sure. First time I've been to Heartland Park. Smaller lots than we are used to. I'm not sure our 3rd Gen's are the car to have anymore if you checked the results. I was on 3 yr old Hoosiers (big mistake) but Paul and Lynn had all the right stuff and said it was hard work getting in the trophies. Hope to see you there next year.

Re: Have you weighed your car?

When I first got "Blue" in '90, I figured 15-20 years before moving on to ESP. It's getting close and Mark showed a 3rd gen still can win ESP.
