I don't think the SC would weigh 100lb by itself either, but as Sparkie mentioned, the intercooler would add some weight, plus if there is a factory optioned SC model, it will not be as simple as adding the SC. Guaranteed it comes packaged with other goodies that will also add weight (larger rims, bigger brakes, air dam, side sills, etc).
