2610 lbs with very little gas in it. That was a few years ago and I have since packed on a few lbs when I added a fire system and some more roll cage stiffining but still under 2700 lbs.

Tom, we can't do that, it's too messy and complicated. Just weigh the thing

or in FAA terms..

Basic aircraft empty weight is the weight of an aircraft without taking into account any baggage, passengers, or usable fuel. Basic empty weight includes all fluids necessary for operation such as engine oil, engine coolant, and unusable fuel.
Mine was weighed with the RED LIGHT on, which i consider, unusable fuel.

For my car, the weight goes up with more gas in the tank, but the value of the car goes up noticably as well . Still needs a little work.

I'll have to weigh it after the changes this weekend to the exhaust and post numbers. I think my car lost at least 20 lbs when I removed the rear seats, maybe more.

So if you take off 154....looks like the coral red (or kiln red ??) racer is 2915lbs....now that number looks a heck of a lot better
