It is 3,600 lbs, but that is before you add on all of those chromed engine components. I want an engine bay like that!

Yo A, if my calculations are correct, your car should weight approx:

6000 lbs.


Let see... custom audio/video in the trunk, 20" chrome bling-bling, enough suede to wrap a couch and love seat, a phat GTE twin-turbo engine swap, 5 layers of chrome in the engine bay that put the chroming company out of business, 16 pistons of stopping power, a gigantic polished intercooler the size of a radiator, missle launcher q45 headlights, and the list goes on.....

Lets not forget the custom baby seat....

Dude, with a full tank of gas and you inside the car, you must be pushing 6K. Time to upgrade to a 3rd turbo son...... haha


Seriously, with all the mods we have done, we are probably closer to 3800.

That's exactly what I was thinkin... I'd be interested to see what your car weighed myself since mine will have a similar engine setup with a big stereo as well. Definately much more than stock, that's for sure! If you ever do hit up the scales, be sure to report back with your findings!
