Default Weighed my car at work

I weighed my car on the alignment rack at the dealership. It was 3710lbs with my 200lbs in the drivers seat and plus everything else that is in my sig. Including a 1/2 tank of gas, spare tire, jack, 80sq ft of sound deadner, a lot of wiring, and 3 jl audio amps.

Front Left- 1018
Front Right 961
Rear Left 922
Rear Right 809

And remember this was about 200lbs worth of steel amp rack, amps, wiring, and sound deadner, and my 200lbs. plus the dual exhaust, swaybars, etc. etc...

Heavy *** fords...
