Default Weighed the Coupe

3500 with me and golf clubs aboard. 3/4 tank of gas.
Weighed on a DOT truckscale along the highway. I believe the smallest increment is 50 lbs.
I weigh 185.
Curious what other coupes weigh, although understand that scales can be all over the map, At least the DOT scales are calibrated and checked all the time.

Clearly not Z06 or FRC light....you turkeys!

I was right around 3300 during the Corvette Challenge this year with about a 1/2 tank of gas ... I have to get my gas gauge fixed pretty soon Lose a little weight buddy (LOL)! Now that I think about it ... I may have had the N02 and nitrogen tanks in which are about 40lbs..
I'm at a fighting weight of 165

I myself have lost 45 lbs. Not necessarily in the interest of ET reduction!

Congrats

I have to admit my diabetes did play a roll in my almost 30 lb weight loss from last year ... either way ... it's a good thing for both of us when chasing ET's

Not a coupe, but my vert with me in it, hard top on and about 1/2 tank of gas was 3520lbs. I weighted about 225lbs.
