Toyguy, what is capacity of fuel tank (standard or large)? Subtract 6lbs per gallon.

Give us empty weight. And no more suspense please.

I guess 3100 w/ empty gas tank.

3100 with full tank of gas. Between LWB and PCCB, that should be about 100lbs right there. Don't know what the exhaust weights are.

Between PCCB's, LWB's and GMG Bypass I would think my car is about 70lbs less than it would be with Steels, 18ways and stock exhaust. My floor isn't perfectly flat but it's close. I have the big fuel tank too

146lbs of fuel with a full tank so it would be 3116lbs with no gas

Not for a street car with today's required safety features. For a dedicated track car...yes.

Heavier than I anticipated. My 997 is 3060 + me ready to go on track with fuel. Add roll bar you're up over 3300. Clearly you need to be heavier so we 997 drivers have any chance of keeping up on track :-)
