C6 coupe exact weight?
Ordered a G-Tech, and I know that accurate weight is a necessary input for best calculation accuracy.
Anyone have exact weights of the various C6s?
With or without full tank of gas?
I have an 06 A6 Z51.
Thanks in advance!

Do you know if that is with full tank of gas or empty?
EDIT..
I just looked up "curb weight" and it says that includes full fuel.
So just need to add my own weight and small items.
Subtract for less then full fuel with a best guess of whats in the tank.

The 3210 was from my memory. I just pulled up my spreadsheet. It weighed 3405 with me in it and around 3 gallons of gas. I'm right at 215, so that puts the car at 3190. The A6 is a very heavy tranny!

No, your car weighs less at sea level because the denser air causes more boyancy!

That's actually the only way to know for sure for I have yet to see two (even similarly equipped) C6s weigh the same.

I also have a non Z51 1LT A6 and it weighed roughly 3406 - 3412 pounds with me and a 1/4 tank of fuel in it (on the NHRA certified/calibrated scale at Englishtown) and I weigh roughly 190 - 193.
I'm calculating around 3220+- for my car without me in it.

Are you sure the scale was dead on accurate?

What I was questoning is how SoldSyclone's vehicle weight could be so low, but it is possible I guess.

Well those numbers/differences do make sense though, the automatic does weigh notably more than the manual and the 2LT does weigh more than the 1LT, both cars are Z51s so that's a wash.
