LOL Tony, I just want a central repository where we can reference real-world weight, it seems the numbers are usually elusive.

Don't forget to take into account how much gas is in the car....a quick search turned up about 7 lbs per gallon of gasoline. So..we have a 22 gallon tank..
1/4 tank = 38.5 lbs
1/2 tank = 77 lbs
3/4 tank = 115.5 lbs
full tank = 154 lbs

If you know how much gas figure it out..and subtract out...

Later,
Tom
89GT (not weighed yet..but sure to be less than H's )
