hey mike when i left i squeezed just over 800 lbs into mine and when i weighed it the first time i just took out the box with subs and amp, spare tire, and jack.

poor thing cried all the way to the scales. got 1125 in my durango, was impressed the cav could swallow that much.

wow, i crammed 500 lbs into mine, plus me so thats 750 pounds, the poor car wanted to cry.

when i took off after emptying the car of everything but my amps the car was quite quick without the subs, but after putting it all back in and 500 pounds of crap, poor thing was like it was running off 2 cylenders.

but yeah the aftermarket stuff on the car is 2 amps, new speakers (prolly the same as stock weight) 17 inch rims, kyb agx and h&r springs (bout the same weight( K&n intake, (lighter) and header with full exhaust (heavier), oh and weapon R seats (lighter) i d say the car is about 75 pounds or so lighter than stock so about 2550 lbs

edmunds says the car is 2676 lbs. mine was 2620 but mine had no spare in it, so i guess edmunds is pretty good

A little info on fuel weight:

In my experience with race cars, gasoline weighs 6.6lbs. per gallon. With a full tank(15.2 Gal.) that comes to just a tick over 100lbs. Thats why when you run the track you want as little fuel in the tank as possible.
