Comes out to around 3300.

Remember, a lot of these weights depend on how much gas is in the car, I think gas weighs like 8lbs/gal or the such.
My 2002 Z06 weighed 3122 minus driver with a full tank of gas last year (drove strait from gas station to track) on the scales at Roebling. This is on a full weight car minus only the floormats.

3060 with 1/4 tank gass and 200 lbs of me.
I WISH
time to gut the car and get those carbon fiber body parts and lexon front and rear windows.
More like 3250 with driver last time I weighed it

After all these posts my stock 99 coupe seems to be the heaviest, so I re-weighed it.
3220 with less than 1/4 tank of gas, no driver or passenger (we got out this time )
Still seems a bit heavy, but this car has lots of options, driver and passenger power seats, dual climate zone, CD changer in trunk, fog lights, F45 Selective Real Time Damping
G92 Performance Axle Ratio 3.15:1 MXO Auto
JL4 Active Handling
M30-Automatic Transmission
N37 Steering Column;Pwr Telescope Man Tilt
I think all these options may be why mine is heavier.

I weighed my wheels after I went with the rear 18x10.5's all around with Nitto R2's, 285 fronts and 305 rears. It added 15 lbs total to the car. 2.5 lbs per front wheel, 5 lbs per rear wheel.
I thought it would be more for the fronts, but I guess the 295 to 305 change made more difference.
15 lbs was a small price to pay for 10 seconds a lap faster at Thunderhill(2:15's to 2:05's).

Where did you weigh yours at Scott? I weighed mine at byron last year when I had heavy motorsport wheels and my car weighed in at 3130 with 3/4 tank of gas. Planning on going to byron tomorrow so I will weight it again and see what the difference is.

So how accurate are all these scales? It's typical for a gauge to be about 1/2% of full scale. Even if these scales are 1/4 percent of full scale, they could be off by a few hundred pounds either way, but I don't know how they work, and thus, how accurate they are. Anyone know?
Edit: did a google search for computerscales accuracy and its rated at 1/10th of a percent and 1500 per pad, so that's only 6 lbs worst case.
