Default Find out my car is NOT a fatass!!!

Turns out the Saleen 3V only weighs 3,550lbs without a driver. It is only an additional 75lbs over the stock GT (according to Ford's specs). I am more than happy after hearing this...I thought my car was in the 3700-3800lb area [&:]...So to all that think that Saleen needs a diet, shove it . J/K

For more info: The S/C version weighs 3,620
The Extreme version weighs 3,660 (weighed by an actual member on the forums yesterday)

Thanks for the info. That'll go into a future version of Trivial Pursuit, I'm sure...

Saleen adds weight to the car then reduces it with fiberglass to carbon fiber components increasing in material quality with relevance to the weight added to the car.

So for example the S/C has fiberglass instead of urethan for most it's parts replaced. The extreem has Carbon Fiber.
