My car gets weighed at pretty much every event. Last year at nationals I got weighed after every session. Car always came in around 2890-2900 with about 1/2 a tank of gas. If the car got much lower than 1/2 a tank I would have been under my weight limit of 2885.

So, 2900 - 70lbs of ballast - 215 for driver and gear = 2615lbs for the car at around 1/2 a tank of gas.

You can see in my videos that I still have the full stock interior (well, I guess you can't see the back, but its all there too).
