Weight issues

I have a question as to how much I am weighing in at... My registration says something like 3100 lbs, however I read something on my door (just noticed it now)that said something like 4172 lbs w/ 2132 in front and 2041 rear. That would be great weight transfer, but am I really THAT heavy??

Thanks,

I could be wrong but I think that's that max safe weight with 4 people in the car.

gross vehicle weight should be the car fully loaded with people and baggage. net vehicle weight should be the car by itself.

If it helps any, my RS with subs and amps, and myself in it weighed 3700 lbs. Pablo and Jester's cars with some things removed both weighed 3200.
