Default 3560 lbs?

I weighed my car and it tipped the scales at 3560 lbs...Granted I weigh 265, but still... 3300 lbs seems too damn heavy for a stock powered mustang to run 14.3 @ 97.5.....My friend was behind me and possably could have had one of his tires on the scale at the same time so I am trying to figgure out if that seems about right.

weird how people are still making comments about the SN-95's being heavy... Last time I weighed my car, it was 3440 with me in it, and I weighed 190lbs at the time That was with a full interior, smog pump delete, nitrous kit, spare tire, and my big ol' 17x9/10.5" wheels

Youre still heavier.

I took out some crap I had in the car and that saved about 50, I can get another 50 out easily enough. Basicly, I have to lose weight...personally... lol.

Not at all actually. 97 mph with that much weight....Id need about 270-280 horse...... so either my weight isnt right or someone put a cam in my car while I wasnt looking.
