well i thought i would share this bit of information with you guys since i haven't seen a lot of post about this. i took my car to a local recycling center and got it weighted there. the list of all my mods are in my signature and i had a full tank of e85 with me too. and the final weight was........ 3540 without me in the car! a little more than i had expected but thats the truth.

now post some numbers of how much your car weights!

 

That isn't all that bad.

 

Why is the weight so high when you weigh it at a track or something compared to what both magazine & manufacturer specs state.
Besides the weight of fuel, do they weigh the car with all the other fluids like Oil, coolant, etc?

BTW, OP, is that an MR or GSR? And I noticed that you have an aftermarket exhaust. I'm sure if you had your stock one that weight would be ALOT higher.

 

3435 with 6/10ths of a tank. GSR.

 

It's a GSR. and yes the spec weight from mitsu doens't include fluids and what not.

 

Dang thats heavy.

 

just to make the 10 guys feel bad....full tank of gas, spare tire and jack....

Evo 8 RS = 3100lbs....

 

 

3510 lbs 2008 Evo X SSS, spare out, Recaro child seat in. Good amount of gas.

 

Mine was around 3350 lbs without rear seats and empty trunk + full tank of gas , and i wasnt in it. It was a full street car with radio etc head liners and everything, in it.
But i had some changes. Like exhaust - coilovers- rims and tires- small battery etc.

Now its a race car but it hangs around with full race prepped 3200-3300 lbs.
Maybe this year /soon/ will lose some more weight.

 

i think proper after market exhaust, remove the spare tire should lose around 50lbs.. i remember there was a thread from AMS showing how much those parts weights...

 

3240 with me in it half tank of gas oh and a sub and amb in the trunk

evo 9 se

 

(2,888–3,285 lb) according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubi...ncer_Evolution

Evo 9 MR

 

thats not too bad

 

at least more weight = more traction
