Sheesh the curb weight for a 1995 GS is Curb Weight, lbs. 3660 according to
consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1993-to-1997-lexus-gs-300-6.htm - 85k...Theres 280 lbs extra, stuff in the trunk, back seat, glove box, stereo equipment, after market wheels. I weigh 250 myself HMMMMM....Dude, 2 words...light beer LOL!...I can see why my car would weigh in like that, what's going with your car?!

Jeez, almost 4000 pounds, that insane. I guess I fall into that category, Im about 200 pounds, and I have some stuff in the trunk. I guess 20mpg aint too bad then, haha.

once the auto tranny is gone, then i can really use the twins instead of just limping them along on low boost to save the auto trans. making about 380 right now.. or at least until i pulled the engine on friday.. no problem though, this is a voluntary teardown. will be back up soon and much stiffer for the 08 season. i'll be corner weighting it too, so i'll post the #s.
