Default I weighed my car

Had the chance to weigh my car tonight. It was at a certified scale. With me in it it weighed 3980 lbs. I weigh about 210 lbs. So I'm looking at 3770.

My car is:
06 GT
Iron Block (add ~75 lbs)
Kenne Bell blower (add about 90 lbs)
manual
shaker 1000 and every other option the 06' could have came with.
No spare tire, 3/4 tank of fuel.

I was surprised at the weight of the car. Then I thought about the motor and blower and me in it. Started feeling better. So somewhere close to 3600 lbs would be the original weight of the car.

That or if there are any waste dumps for normal house hold trash, they usually have a scale that is pretty accurate.

You drop 2/10 and you may have to put on a few pounds

That seems high. Or maybe the scale I was on was friendly. My base GT was 3350.

Were you in the car?

I have lots of extras on mine.

Forgot to include the extra big wheels/tires.


Anyways, 3350 seems a little light.

My 06' GT Premium with shaker 500, the spare tire and everything else in it weighs in at 3460 without me. Have to add about 175 with me. It only had about a 1/4 tank of fuel also. Weight was taken at a certified CAT scale at the truck stop.

My 2007 GT500 with Shaker 1000 weighed 3920 with out me in it and 1/2 tank of gas. I am also about 210 lbs so with me in it was 4130..... My old 2007 GT Deluxe with Shaker 500 weighed in at about between 3400 and 3500 lbs with out me in it (i think it was closer to 3400 but i dont remember the exact amount since it was almost 2-3 years ago when i had it weighed)
