Default Do you know what your car weighs?

I took my car to Predator Performance to have my car weighed. 3299 lbs. The car had 2/3 tank of gas, 14 lb. battery, no carpets, jack, pump or fix a flat and with me in the driver's seat. In other words at race weight except for all the extra gas. Without me in the drivers seat it came in at 3118 lbs. More or less what a Z06 weighs. I think I need more power.

Well, if I win the loto I'll be calling for a good dose of V-8 upgrade, but until then I'm stuck with a slow and heavy V-6. (If I win the loto I'll buy a second SRT and have it Rudyfied.)

I had my non SRT6 weighed, and without me in it, it was 3040 pounds with a quarter tank of fuel.

I always thought the SRT6 was about 150lbs heavier, so I would have guessed that you would have gotten about 3200lbs, not 3118.

Nice surprise.

Liar, you'd buy a new big rig! Why are all the people I contact today being problematic? Doc, you know you'd want something even more different than a normal exceptional SRT-6. Myself, I'd have a race car and a Crossfire SRT-8! Where is the current powerball so I can buy a ticket?

Read carefully about the weight. No carpets, no jack etc in the back, 14 lb. battery. Washer fluid light is on but the car had 2/3 of a tank of gas according to the gauge. The car was at race weight except for the gas. For a whole track day I start with a full tank but for Solo 1 or autocross I run with 1/4 tank of gas and add some if needed during the day. The weight distribution is not bad. I thought it would be much worst. With me in the car it added 57 lbs to the drivers side front, 79 lbs. to the drivers side rear, 12 lbs to the passenger side front and 33 lbs to the passenger side rear. You can take the picture and figure the % front to rear, left to right etc. The scale is showing the cross weights. I hope someone finds the information useful or informative.

Well I found a slip in my glove box when I bought my car with the actually cargo shipping weight. It said 3,006 lbs. I will double check tonight and get a picture up.

She wouldn't like me very much if I posted her weight on the internet.

The car's weight seems fine. The driver, on the other hand, could stand to lose a few lbs according to that weight distribution. And since when was an SRT6 "slow"?

Oh it's not slow, unless you compare it to a certain Yellow Crossfire TAZZ-8. And I plan to loose 10 more pounds off the driver's sides.

I definitely find it imformative as I am going to get mine weighed before heading to the Dragon, just so I know where I am.

Is yours a coupe or roadster?

It's a SRT-6 Coupe. I forgot about the Stoptech BBK on the front. They weigh less than the stock brakes.

I have actually thought about "superfying" (that's one of My words) my SRT but feel torn, at what point is it no longer an SRT?
Don't get me wrong I would love to have a V8, V10 or even a Turbine, but I love what was built and badged as a Crossfire SRT-6, an increadable car in many peoples' eyes.
We, as forum members can't start comparing our cars, dyno slips, Et's or lap times to Tazz-8, sorry to Tazz but what he has is no longer a Crossfire SRT. He does however own a really neat little car. I only wish it had been a Coupe. 180 to 205 in a flexable convertable, not for me.
PLUS, he has screwed things up for me, I was already saving for a project car and now I have to concider that path

Wow that's light! I guess my cat's need to go. I'm keeping my SRT seats for now but I'll admit dreaming about super light ones every now and then.

Something just isn't right there.
First of all lets give you,

5 pounds per wheel and tire, X4= 20lbs
35 pounds per seat---------X2= 70lbs
20 pounds per cat----------X2= 40lbs
15 pounds for Tire tools & pump=15lbs

unless you've shaved an extra 170lbs with very, very, special lug bolts
I fail to understand how you could weigh over 300 pounds less than what most peoples' SRTs weigh.
Are you sure of your scales set up and accuracy?

my roadster is on empty...I will go over our scales on my way to fill her up....then weigh again...I will do the same with the coupe...but, I am not ripping my interior out, lol...may empty the trunk, but not anything else...we will just find some more HP somewhere....as for me, I have lost 20lbs...yes sir....I now look even more sick and old than I did before...but, that is an advantage when racin' the kids....they get a giggle out of the old man in the little sporty car....until they read the license plate..."off duty".....lol

Do you have access to an accurate scale? I would love to know what the modded base coupe weighs, I am really hoping for sub 3K

I drove her car to work today for another weigh.

Stock rims with 285 Invos, 3/4 tank, same as above plus me (277#)
weight was 3290#, so minus me was 3019#. i have not weighed the street tires vs track setup so i cannot calculate there. petrol is just over 6# a gallon (6.20-6.35 dependant on octane) so around 3 gallons fuel 18# puts it at 3001#. Depending on the tire/rim difference and accuracy of the scale it doesnt seem to far off. the scale here at my work has a correction of +/- 25# as its used to measuring in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. and the other weight was used at the dragstrips scale.

as for the seats i will weigh the stockers they are in storage, but the ones in her car are 16# a seat.
