What is the weight of ur Z8?
I was crazy enough to drive onto a truck scale to figure out the weight of my moded Z8. I came up with 3660 pounds with 1/2 a tank and litte me with 150 pounds and some other 20 ponds of useless things in the trunk. The owners manual says 3718 pounds with one person and a full tank ready to go. I just don't know what the average weight of a Z8 driver is??? Anyone been as crazy with their original Z8 (no hard top).

One thing I found out and that is nice to know the weight front to back came out almost identical.

Thanks

Claus

I assume that was without you in the car, right.

Thanks

Mike,
Says who...?

Woh,
That is pretty good. So I guess my car is about 150 pounds lighter given that both our Z8s should weigh the same.

Thanks again
Claus
