Weighed my car today - bgkast - 10-27-2008
My LeMon team mate and I borrowed some race scales from a family member today to get some baseline weights for our Fiero, and when we were done I put the 240D on the scales just for fun. With a full tank of fuel the car weighed 3400 lbs on the nose with a 53/47% front/rear weight distribution. Not too bad! :mrgreen:

That is a really nice color.
My car weighs 2020lbs on the front axle and 1840lbs on the back with a full 15.5 gallons of fuel (3860lbs) and me in it. ~3560lbs without me in the drivers seat or tool bag in the trunk.

Strange yours is 160 lbs heavier since our cars are virtually identical. Your numbers give you a 52/48 front to rear distrubuiton. I also removed the "junk in my trunk" for this weigh-in. :lol:

I weighed mine on the truck scale at work so don't take mine as an exact measurement like yours was. The scale calibrated to weigh 10,000-32,000lb+ semi and trailer axles so its accuracy is really closer to the thousands of pounds range. ~200lbs would be about right as a reasonable margin of error for it.
