Weight fully loaded vs stripped

nachob · 07-08-2012, 09:48 PM

So it's been a year almost. Has anyone weighed a fully loaded 1M and a stripped one with same amount of gas so we can see what the weight difference is?

It would be cool trivia if we knew the difference.

If not, is there anyone with a scale in SoCal that we could weigh a couple of cars?

At the next national event i go to i will run it over the scales. Mine is stripped.

I have heard only 30lbs.

carchrism5 · 07-08-2012, 10:00 PM

Yeah it was like 30lbs, not much of a difference at all

The DVD NAV, power seats, premium sound, heated seats....there just isn't too many option available that will significantly increase weight. My educated guess, it would be less than 50lbs. I'd still be interested to know actual numbers as well though.

mPlasticDesign · 07-08-2012, 10:14 PM

I forgot. I had started a 1M weight thread last year. It's more than 30lbs. The NAV, power seats and premium sound alone is 47lbs.

Ill try to weigh mine next weekend but I have some mods

I have a thread in the general forum from 2008 when I weighed my 135

It would be great if we could just settle it once and for all.

Don't forget to note how much gas is in the car. It's about 6 lbs per gallon

Different colors of paint will make a difference as well.

AW is non-metallic, unlike BSM and VO, so lighter.

But more fruit flies lay on it, so that adds weight

AW is more prone to bird droppings...so it equals out.
