any of you guys ever scale your car and what results did you get ? what mods , if any , do you have for the result ?

....and don't tell me the curb weight from some website

 

I'm not being a jerk... but you saw this post right?

https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ht-thread.html

I found this highly informative

 

yeah....i remember that thread but i am talking as a whole car....not individual parts . i'm asking if anyone took their car to a certified scale and weighed it ?

 

What u want to know?
Stock wheels
No weight reduction LTH's and no spare and no took kit.
1/4 gas

3910lbs

 

Damn our cars are close to 4k lbs.

 

What's up Jon.
You still on for Monday ?
U coming to 1/2 mile event ?

 

with driver weight, it is over 4k. we need every hp and lb of torque we can get

 

4225 lbs - no weight reduction

I also had the 18 in stock wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires, MBH setup with headers 3 in pipes and x-pipe and cat deletes.

 

I'm guessing you were in the car?

Yes there is .
Exotic rally is throwing it at pocono raceway, going to be fun, alot of people are going and alot of great cars.
Thank you.
Let me know if u need more info.

 

Our cars are porky little pigs, but lovable. Mfgrs cannot do "light." Partly because of FED reg, partly sound , NVH, and a circus of electronic gadgets, partly because the c63 is Mercedes and must be trainlike on the autobahn.

Corvette does a good job, now with dry carbon, but still exceeds 3000 lbs. Audi brags year to year and even resorts to aluminum frames with fat increasing to over 4000 lbs. Even Lotus gave up the one ton barrier. Alpha promised their new 1800 cc wonder to be under 2000 lbs and it is already over before production. The C 63 aluminum hood is wasted (though lovely) for the ?20 lb savings.

Even Mc Claren's newest is a porker. To make 'em fly takes more and more HP so turbos are the rage again. Something's got to give.

 

Carbon Fiber roof/no sun roof (-45#)
Carbon fiber drivers seat (-47#)
FRP hood (-26#)
No passenger seat (-64#)
Rear seats are in.
four point roll bar (+52#)
Rear doors are empty with lexan windows (-45#)
Stock battery
No extra fluids
LTH with full 3" race exhaust with X-pipe and NO mufflers or cats. (-35#)
Full BS body(with BS wing) with full size BS wheels and tires. (the BS wheels are lighter)
1/4 tank of gas
No spare or jack or tool kit.
No driver = 3650#

With Drag race wheels and tires its under 3600#.
With the 12# Braille battery its close to 3500#.

 

Thats a lightweight car very nice done up Keith.

 

Yes, I was in it when he weighed. I wanted to give track numbers based on total weight so never thought about weighing just the car itself at the time.

I'll have to do that this season.

 

Is there still time to sign up?? any info on what kind of cars are going to be there?

 

I was but Monday is going to rain and snow. Yes I want to do the 1/2 mile event.
