Default Coupe weight

Has anyone put the coupe on a scale to get the exact weight for setting up for a G-tech? Of course I don't want the gross vehicle weight, I want the weight without anyone in the car. No open scales around me. Thank You

Bob,

A couple of suggestions:

1) You might try a truck weigh station on an interstate highway. Sometimes they are sympathetic and helpful, sometimes they are not.

2) Most scrap metal yards sell scrap metal by the pound ... you drive in and weigh your car, pick up your scrap metal, then you weigh your car on the way out so they know how many pounds of scrap metal you bought. Their scales are quite accurate and most of these guys are pretty helpful.

Good luck!

Alvin

KBB and Edmunds list curb weight as 3060# for 6sp and 3084# for auto.

Crossfire:
Driver, No Luggage, Full Tank
Front 780
Rear 680
Both 1470

Thats in kilograms. I weigh 185lbs fully dressed. You'll have to figure out the conversions and subtract my weight. If you want to be very precise, you might want to measure the total distance between the centre of the front and rear tires, then measure the distance btwn the centre of the seat to the front tires, and centre of the seat to rear tires and subtract my wieght proportionally from the front and rear axle weights.

Good Luck

Thanks, that is pretty close to what I thought but no point in weighing it here as I'm carrying a lot of ice and snow on the under carriage. When the weather allows I will do a base line and start from there.
