How much does your supra weigh?

[fiyota]

I weighed mine at a truck check point on the side of the highway. It's accurate enough. A friend of mine had his car on corner scales then went to the truck scale, damn near the same result.. had different amounts of junk in his car and had more gas etc...

Take note of a few listed curb weights and test weights. The sport roof bracing is 70 lbs according to Toyota. The turbo, intercooler, piping and R154 all add weight to the base model's 3480.

[hvyman]

No it says about 17. The estimated mpg for our cars is 17 streets 25 hwy.

Have you seen the thread? It is heavy, even for DSL.

~3500-3850 lbs does not sound that heavy compared to some current vehicles with similar or better performance ratings. bmw 335i ~3582 lbs, mkv VW gti ~ 3300 lbs, nissan 350z ~3353 lbs, lexus is350 ~3527.

How about a more realistic comparison, namely cars from 87-92. My 91 Mustang GT according to Ford with the T5 trans weighed 3191. Compared to our hard top 5s peed car with 3580 for a curb weight. With my 230 lb self, and the A/C I removed, it was only 3390 in the 5.0. An IROC with the 5 litre was similar.

[hvyman]

Damn thats light. Might have something to do with no targa and non stock seats tho.

 

[CajunKenny]

Yeah, that and my helium filled tires.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

Stock seats are what 66lbs for driver side and 40+ for passenger.
