2012 Coupe, 4500lbs. with half a tank of gas, and myself in the car.

 

[Skrappydewtal]

My registration lists the unladen weight as 4192 for my 2013 coupe. How accurate is this number? I haven't had a chance to weigh it yet.

 

[helloWorld]

This is what my 2012 automatic sedan weighed with no extra stuff in the car, nobody in the car, and with a little under a half tank of gasoline.

Specs? Seems light

4160 doable in a coupe, non roof non Recaro, M6 car

Even w/recaros and A6 its not that much of a difference, want to say mine weighed similar or 4180 with 1/4 tank or less bone stock. I have it written on a slip somewhere. Just thinking if you have an ice box, bigger intercooler, and odds and ends it probably can add almost 80 lbs to the car. Hell even the a weapon x hood adds like 2 lbs.

Did they give you any crap for wanting to do a car?? I need to try this, always wonder about the accuracy of the track scales when there isnt an event going on.

They did not care. Apparently it is common for people who are moving cross country or out of country to weigh their vehicles so that the shipping companies can get the quotes correct.

The process is not hard. You just drive up into any one of three segmented pieces of concrete, press the button, talk to the attendant, they will tell you to drive off and come in to pay the $11 fee, and then you will get your receipt with the weight on it. You can see from my receipt that there are three axles that can be weighed, thus the three segments of concrete that comprise the scale. I chose the drive axle segment as the fitment was just right for an entire sedan to fit into.

How much does my wagon weigh? To much.

 

[Prophecy7115]

That's crazy, I recently paid my car off and have no intention to sell. I might get brave and lexan the roof, remove all air bags. race seat, remove sound dampening material, welds, Race brakes, cut where I can. DEF KEEP AC IN south florida.

I want to get to 4.000lbs with me in it. I'm sure som1 has done it, wonder whats the lightest anyone has gotten a V to weigh. I know people want their Cadillac to remain a Cadillac, comfortable blah blah. Well Porsche offers the 911 GT3 RS for a reason.

 

[Swapper]

2011 V coupe a6 1/2 tank of gas weighed 4250lbs on a recycling center scale. i wanna weigh it with my corner scales at work.

Pretty much sums it up. These things are big fat pigs. I never thought I would actually own a car that makes the SS look like a lightweight.

I have exactly 1 question. Why?

Even if you do strip it down to a rolling shell and make that goal, 4,000lbs is STILL a f-ing tank.

^^LOL

1/4" lexan (about . 22 thick) is about 1.5 lbs/square foot. Glass the same thickness is about 3.2 psf. I don't know how thick our sunroof is, but I guess around 1/8" thick.

Lexan (polycarbonate) is not light.

 

[tinman]

Shit, what happened to my post? Anyway, I went on to say 1/4" nominal lexan is about 1.5 psf vs. glass at twice that at same thickness.

My Subaru Legacy GT wagon nominally weighs 3300 lbs (now probably more because I swapped in STI 6MT gearbox which is much heavier than the 5MT). Always thought it's a pig and I need to buy next something lighther... now I a bought Vagon At least it does not have the ultraview.

My next purchase will be a 981 Spyder... at ~2900 lbs I guess it can be consider lightweight. Was about to buy one last year, but decided to postpone that and now I bought the V, so next car needs to wait a little bit.

 

[richb82]

Is/are there a specific reason/s these things are so heavy? I had a G8 GT a few years back and according to Google it's a cool 230 pounds lighter when comparing curb weights, yet it's a physically larger car by a decent margin. It'd be nice if the V was closer to 3800 pounds, that's a full half second quicker in the 1/4, making these 11 second cars off the showroom floor. Ugh, stupid GM.

 

[tinman]

They were built off of the standard CTS cars, not specifically for the V models. Hence the everyday consumer vehicle with safety and durability in mind.

 

[Typhoon43]

11 Sedan with my 230 pound frame and 1/2 tank of gas: 4670.

Glass roof doesn't help. I also have 2 very solid 12 inch subwoofers, 30 pounds of Fatmat, and a good 100 pounds of misceallaneous gear in my trunk well and bug-out bags lol. I won't put my baby on a diet. Big Black Sedans need lovin' too.

 

[Brittany0913]

Mine varies, but usually between 118-123lbs.

What varies? I'm trying to figure out how much a 2 door Cadillac cts weighs without the engine and everything, just the frame?
