i went to see a client today, they have a truck scale and i "accidentally" <wink wink> parked my SC on there scale and walked thru the office and looked at the scale monitor.
the car weighed 3640 lbs

fully loaded 92 SC400 with 18's, the 18's are slightly heavier than my stock 16's, but you get the general idea.

my god they are tanks........i thought they were weighing in at about 3200.....

the SC4 is up there with a Mitsu 3Kgt VR4

 

That's right in there on the average...ours was 3670, (1950F/1720R)

Just minor lightening got it down to 2390 though, not too bad!

2390?!? What kind of minor lightening... Tube frame!?

-Ethan

 

Removed NVH material, gutted the interior, removed seates?

Overclocker

 

Can you say pwr/wt ratio boys and girls?

 

geez...3700 pounds.....damn thats heavy for a two door anything.....


makes me miss my old 930.. 1,900 pounds .....340 hp...oh wait, the damn thing dripped more oil than JJ from good times' hair...

 

oh yeah.....how in the hell did you lighten it by that much?

 

Unless his seats were made of solid gold that is not 1300 pounds.

-Ethan

 

Maybe he meant 3390 lbs?

That sounds a lot more reasonable

 

That's about right..mine weighed 3770lbs full interior

 

Think about this:

SC300 ~ 3500 lbs
SC400 ~ 3600 lbs
Supra ~ 3400 lbs

Things that will lighten up the car without making it ala rice-boy:

Carbon-fiber hood (painted)
lighter rims (usually high quality)
lighter seats (including Supra TT seats)
no spare tire (especally if you have the Supra TT brakes)
no floormats
removed insulation (not sure you want to do that)

... there is more, but I don't feel like going for days.

 

and about half tank of gas.

PS the spare tire is really heavy, about 45 lbs.

 

I think if we get a good break down it would be a worthy FAQ question

 

Wow I shouldn't be posting at 2 am...I meant 3390!!!!
