C63 AMG Edition 507
What is the stock weight for sedan and coupe?
I was looking at the weight specs from mbusa.com and it claims weight of 3600 lbs for the sedan (3800 for coupe). This sort of flies in the face of seemingly established wisdom that the cars are about 4000lbs. What am I missing? Here is the link by the way: http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicl...nt=model-specs
Has anyone actually measured the cars on the scales? Coupe or sedan?

What baffles me is that the sedan weighs less than the coupe. I would assume 2 less doors and a shorter wheelbase would mean less weight?

2010 C63 Estate
Factory Space Saver Spare wheel (Rim & Tyre) from Estate 2010 (should be same as Sedan)- 30lbs
Factory Jack/ Tools/ Gloves (the things found in that plastic circle thing inside the space saver spare) Including the black plastic round thing- 10lbs
In estate cars, when you lift the rear floor up to access the spare tyres, there is a grey foam holder there, which holds a collapsible storage crate, and the warning triangle.
This altogether with the crate & triangle, weighs- 6lbs

C63
i don't know the structure on our C63s.
On a previous car, in the eighties-nities, drag racers were removing the heavy steel bumper behind the plastic facias at each end or substituting aluminum and later a hard foam. I don't remember specifics
A car this small weighing near four thousand pounds with an aluminum motor and trans light flywheel and drive shaft seems high compared to my 69 Mustang which was larger I believe.
I would not remove the steel beams, if it they're, there ever for normal driving. If a titanium one was in budget and available maybe.
With carbon ceramic rotors and carbon fiber hood, and me losing a hundred pounds or letting wife race it, there would be a two hundred fifty pound savings.
Sixty four pounds, carbon ceramic rotors and guesstimate 80 lbs for hood. That would be 3840 lbs minus 144 lbs or 3696 lbs weight empty.
I don't like real light wheels on higher hp cars. Ruin your day if one breaks or bends.

It kind of sucks that the real heavy items and potential for weight savings are in the rear of the car (battery, spare tire, trunk, rear mufflers, etc). This would only affect the traction and handling of the car negatively as it is already hard to get any traction in low gears and the weight distribution is already front-biased to begin with. Weight savings are good if you are building a drag strip car but if you actually want improved handling sometimes less weight makes things worse. There is a reason why people who are serious about getting the best out of their car actually put ballasts in some corners or sides of the car. Just a note. Don't get too obsessed with shaving the most weight off your car. Sometimes it's not a good thing.
