I put the Z on a scale today to see how the car faired with all the extreme mods and additions I have made this year...
This is the first year that I made reverse progress! *&#@[email protected]&*!!!!!
The car wieghed 2660 minus me last year, and it now weighs in (after compensating for difference in fuel in the tank) now weighs 2755 lbs.
Geez I only added another 14 points of bracing..added larger calipers/roters/spacers and adapters. slightly heavier seats..heavier tranny, and an oil cooler and extra oil capacity...plus many little things that were required with putting in the Z31 turbo motor in my 280Z.
The car in full street trim and 3/4 tank of gas and myself in the car it weighs in at a not so light 3000 lbs!! It looks like the car will have to go on a diet again...
I am curious to what other modified z's weigh? I know that 240's are in the 2300 lb range depending on the year..but how about now...with larger diffs, 5spds, larger wheels/ brakes/ sway bars, roll bars, larger stereos etc....I have heard of several 240's breaking well into the 2500 lb range...
anyone else like to chime in with the weight of their cars?...
Please? I don't want to be the only guy making his z heavier....hehehehe...I'm going to have to turn the boost up some more to make up for the weight increase..hehehe
