do you guys know the actual weight of our cars?
the reason i ask is that i hooked up the blitz power meter id and it needs the actual weight of the car in pounds in order to calibrate actual horsepower the car is putting out.
i inputted 4445 lbs but i am not sure if that is accurate espclly i am running 19's, boom box in trunk and all. i test drove the car with the meter and ran a speed of 45mph in 2nd gear the it read "274hp" after the run. i am not sure if that's accurate. any help wud be appreciated.

tks

With me in my car(284 lbs) a 12" sub in box and some misc baby stuff my car weighed 3780 lbs. This is with 18" Enkei RPO1s, Teins, adn LS400 front brakes.

Pat, it is not going to be over 4000 lbs!!! This is not a lux sedan, but the sc is pretty heavy...
and the 19' does throw off the measurement...

When i had my SC4 corner balanced, the total weight on 3/4 tank and my weight (130lbs), it came out to 3890lbs. Don't have an added sound system, bodyparts are almost all fiberglass, bodykit, fenders, and only thing in the trunk was a 50piece toolset.

wow, tks for infos....i knew i inputted the wrong weight on the meter itself.
ok, so let's just assume the weight of stock sc300 is 3500lbs. with my added mods below:

-2jzgte (heavier than stock, that's for sure)
-19'wheels (anyone care to input? 25-35 lbs each maybe?)
-subwoofer box (12inch woofer, maybe betwen 5-10 lbs?)
-LS brakes and rotors ? (it's heavier, right?)
-2 amps (darn, i gotta weigh that too?)

what would be the estimate weight?

between 400-700 lbs maybe? i just want to get a closer estimate ...

The added weight will be 250 lbs or less

what finish is your wheels. if they are chrome then that adds a few good lbs.

indypwr

my wheels are not chrome. just regular finish.

so, 250lbs more then? hmm, probably more?
damn, i will just prolly add 500 lbs on top of that....so 3500 + 500 = 4000lbs

at lest it would be better than what i had with "4445 lbs"....hehe

i know what i will do, i will drive to one of those recycler center that have the weight scale...hahaha

i even forgot about my intercooler and piping.......they all add some weight........damn

there's no way your car would way 3500 lbs with all that stuff in it. My stock sc300 weighed in at 3890 lbs when i took it to the emissions testing.

damn, 3890 lbs? that's it.....i would just use 4000 lbs to be the close estimate.

nasc300

His car has the 2jzgte big turbo and intercooler, brakes and weighs in at 3850lbs with driver. Yuors should be about the same + a few lbs for the stereo

Somewhere near the weight of a fully loaded aircraft carrier.

.....least that's how it feels.
