Default Weights and measures??

So ive got some questions for the fellow members on here. wanting to pick your brain about weights of cars??

finally finished my 1jz-sc400. got it in running condition for a 700 mile round trip trek(to saint louis and back). it does pull but the stance of the damn car at the moment increases drag notacably.



iam thinking because the 1jz is notably, and here visually lighter than the 1uz. this is the reason for the light-end front.

But back on the topic of my question. i got on a scale with my lex and......

-with full ac

-with me (203lbs naked)

-a half a tank of gas

-and about 150-200lbs worth of items

-no back seat

the car weighed 3,780lbs. Now that's a whopper imo seeing as iam only making 10psi max now.

Iam comparing options now as to where i go. so, how much do other cars weigh?? anyone on here actually been to a scale??

looking at supras, corvettes, etc. just need some numbers to compare this to. my 89 rb20 swapped s13 weighs 2,700lbs with me and half a tank in the car(but no ac or components).
