They weigh nearly the same, but its twice as thick? Hmmm, that wasn't what I expected. A pound or two isn't bad at all. How much more fluid does this add to the system, and does anyone know what the weight of mercedes coolant is per liter?

I am not suggesting the added weight of the part and the coolant is degrading performance by asking these questions, so please dont anyone feel threatened and go on the defensive.

I dont care if your latest mod is to weld an F-16 fighter jet to your back bumper to go faster...weight is ALWAYS an issue for everyone whether they believe it or not. I, personally, diet and exercise constantly, not for my health or quality of life, but to keep the driver weight down when in my car. I am just trying to decide what things need to come off my car, and what wheels and tires I need to buy based on weights of various mods and this is the one mod I am looking at doing soonest in the forseeable future, so I'm eyeing my car, wondering where the pound of flesh is going to be removed, that's all. Not interested in removing the air conditioner or stereo because I want the car to be pleasant to drive and ride in, but I did choose my stereo head unit based on weight. LOL

Please dont everyone misinterpret this as me asking for opinions from everyone as to whether this much weight or that much weight is enough to worry about. Everyone has to decide what things to focus on, and weight is one important issue for me, as well as intake air temperature...haha. Coming from a fat pig of a 2004 Mustang Cobra, I have truly seen how much more enjoyable a light car can be both in power to weight ratio, and in handling.


EDIT: I wonder if after I got both seats where I wanted them, I could remove the power motors, etc. from them and have stationary, non-adjustable seats.
