BRZ06 Official Curb Weight

I weighed my LS2 powered BRZ today...

3040lbs wet with a full tank of gas. Looks like I only gained about 240lbs of muscle vs. my stock weigh in of 2800lbs.



As long as I keep fat passengers out of it, now everyone can stop telling me about how I ruined the balance of the car.

53/47 stock at 2800 lbs means 1484/1316

figure 90% of that 200 lbs goes on the front wheels: 1664/1366

55.5/44.5, I think that might qualify as unbalanced to many around here.

But that is very close to the BOSS 302, probably worth it if it's as fast

To be honest I don't even think a person over 150lbs can fit in this car lol So you should be good!

Sounds cool... but an LS2-powered BRZ wouldn't exactly be a "BRZ06" though. Should you find a used LS7 though...

Well it's no 55.2/44.8 that's for sure.

Adding passengers should move the ratio to the rear...so you want passengers.

And insist that they curl up and keep their mass low.
