Anyone know where to weigh your car?
I've added all sorts of electronics (as if the car wasn't heavy enough) and are curious what the current weight is.

You can weigh it at the track I believe, I need to do the same to mine.

I bought 4 bathroom scales, drove up onto them, then added the 4 weights

If you have a transfer facility in your town or near by, they have scales to weigh the trash trucks as they come in. They will usually weigh privately owned vehicles for a small fee like $10-20.

I do it at the track, but the last time i was there the scale wasn't working.

There is a way to do it by measuring the contact patch of each tire with sheets of paper, and measuring the air pressure in each tire and then doing some simple math. If you have a good tire pressure gauge, it's pretty accurate

normally on a street night at the track before a major event the scale is open.....three years ago i was able to weigh my old GT...with me a half tank of gas and the spare tire was 3450...i dont wanna know what the new cobra is

Race weight for my car without driver is like 3370

Another way to do it is stop at the weigh station on 93 in londonderry after hours and drive up on the scale and look in the window. I do this all the time.

On Ed day the scale there was full of water so it wasn't on

This I have to try since the 93 weigh station can't be too far from here. What is the worst thing they could do?

The 05+ is heavy to begin with (I believe 4044) and I'm guessing I'm well over 4000 lbs.

before the tubular front end my car was the exact same as Ians 3450 with me in it

Try a local sand and gravel facility, throw them a few bucks and they'll let you pull on. They're accurate down to 10 lbs. Thats where I weigh mine, roll right on the companys scale, freebie!

I would be interested to see what your car weighs now....i gotta believe that K member shaved off some decent weight....although the 18's pretty much cancel that out LOL
