With 1/4 tank of fuel, and nobody inside, the car weighed 3860lbs. I was under the impression these thing weighed over 2 tons??? Either way I was happy to see a somewhat light weight. Anybody know the weight of new Camaros, challengers?

We weighed my wife's challenger. 4200 lbs. and you feel every single one of them.

for the dimensions I feel it still seems pretty much more on the heavier side. like m3's come around 3700 pounds. my Porsche 996 comes in at 3100 pounds. the Audi S4 is 3800 AWD. seems like very little to strip from these cars to get them on diets but then again that's why the manufacturers just keep putting more HP to compensate.

My mustang was around there. Do you have a sedan or coupe?? If it's a sedan I'm truly impressed!

Very nice! Thanks for taking the time to do that, OP.

Excellent data point for the community.

3860 is spot on..mine came in at around the same, yet some people on this forum love to think the c63 weights 4000+ with no one in it, these cars are smaller then an M3 coupe, I know because I parked because a new M3 one day and the M3 sits way higher and is wider and longer

Coupes are heavier especially US models that come standard with panoramic roof.

Thats stupid. Panorama roof should be an option and have an option for a CF roof like the m3

Makes sense. I cant wait to get my sedan! I've been having withdrawals driving around in a plug in prius while I look for the perfect C63.

OP did you have any weight saving mods? Or just OEM?
And what did you use to weigh your car?

ruey220

I read other articles that said the coupe is lighter albeit having a panoramic roof.

Close to what I've weighed, my car's race weight is around 4130 with 1/4 tank of fuel so take me out (tick over 200) and I'm at about 3920.

I was a tad below 1/4 tank of fuel, and no weight savings at all, still had spare tire and everything.
Maybe using headers and straight pipes reduces a little, from the manifolds, and 4 cats? I used the scale at our highway department heading out of town here in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Also me, and my wife got out to see what the car alone weighed. I'd guess that if the coupe and sedan are still the same exact dimensions, maybe the sedan would weigh a tad less. I know big doors on a lot of 2 door vehicles tend to weigh "alot", but there's also twice as many lol??

skaarlaj

I trust this scale because I also weighed my 1991 Mustang GT on the same scale, and it weighed 3260lbs wich is right on the money from what I read/heard.

Your headers and exhaust will save you more then 50lbs from stock junk

Interesting ... I recently installed a braille 21 battery and remove the spare tire as well and oh boy..... I can feel the difference from the butt dyno. So I wonder how much I'm right now. No headers but 2nd cat removed. Now I need to find a similar scale in my area
By the way removing the heavy OEM battery fixed the rubbing issue that i had on the rear passenger side since I installed my KW!lol! I set them a little lower than my previous H&R springs set up but was lazy to readjust. So this saves me a saturday afternoon

My friends who were into dragging years ago use to tell me at a minimum rule of thumb think 100 pounds will shave .1 off the quarter mile. So 1000 pounds can take off 1 second. Think putting 4- 250lb. people in your car and feel the butt dyno difference when you floor it.
