Anyone weight a fully laden car full trim with full tank, all liquids and a driver?

1650kg be my best.

By your logic, the same goes for the other heavier cars. Compare the curb weights of cars via spec sheets not by options, gas, driver. Too many variables.

My 86 GT weighed in at 1,215kg with half a tank of fuel and no driver. Would need a big driver to make up 400kg :-)

Wow, 1650kg is massively heavy, rated curb weight is supposed to be with a full tank of gas. That's 3630lbs, for reference, the rated curb weight of my truck is about 3400lbs.

Well we should tell Toyota they need to update their specs or definitions..

This was my corner balance with my heavy 200lb ass in the car. My car has actually gained some weight from being stock due to some sound deadening I've put in the car. So 2685 lb with 3/4 tank of gas.

RF: 766
LR: 675

I don't see anything out of place. 1275kg curb weight, that is, with all fluids and no pasengers or cargo. 1670kg gross. That's a little more than Subaru specs the BRZ here in the US, by about 20 kg, but reasonable, not knowing exactly what configuration the rating comes from.

GVM is the maximum it can carry safely I believe

How are you defying gravity like that?

Where does the water cooling from that hose hook up?

hey skatery do you know how reliable it is to run 12 psi on our cars? I'm so tempted to do the smaller pulley now! xD
