reweighed 10 minutes ago. 3010lb.
full specs:
- 1985/1 944 NA with all factory glass/steel body (951 front end)
- custom front end (similar to factory design but nothing original in front of front wheels)
- generic replacement auto carpet/insulation (no original carpet/padding)
- stock rebuilt NA engine with non-working AC (aftermarket condenser)
- 1986 951 transmission with cooler, open diff
- stock exhaust with aftermarket cat
- manual non-sport seats, lower half of rear seats still installed/steel tube installed in place of seat top (like a harness bar)
- stock early steel suspension, 200# springs in front, 25.5/18 sways
- BBS one-piece 15x7/8 wheels, BFG 225/60/15 rear, falken 912 215/60 front
- full tank of gas (early car = 16 or 17 gallons, filled up 15 minutes before weighing)
- spare gallon of water/quart of oil/spare tire/factory toolset/oem jack
- me (240lb) and 5lb of work gear
3010lb - 240 (me) - 5 (work stuff) = 2765 curb weight
fuel at ~6lb/gal would be ~100lb
spare tire/tools all together is ~30lb
spare oil/water ~10lb
2765-140 = 2625lb ready to run, call it 2630 with a gallon in the tank for AX or something.
(this was at a scrap yard that they say is calibrated to 10lbs - i will look around for another easily accessible scale to double-check this)

BTW... just got the call that my new plates are in for pickup. They are:
PACN LS6 (I had to update it from PACN LS1). It's a principle thing....

I'm just teasing I think we've all discussed it. BUT you CAN get custom Antique plates.. Your registration just cost a million dollars each year to renew.

Anything less than <3 gallons and I get fuel starvation under hard rights.
Which means you'd really have to go out with at least 4 gallons... more likely 5 gallons just to be safe.
I add 3 gallons to my race fuel load calcs because of this.
