WEIGHT

[SMARTIEPANTS]

put the car on the local grain elvator scales this morning, this is with three bars on the gas gage, it weighed 1780, with 1000 on the rear,, so it looks like about a 56% rear 44% front,, this is a big scale for weighing grain trucks it changes 20# at a time but i think this gives a good idea

That is kind of hysterical Smartipants!! The rear is wider also...have you noticed??

Thanks for your post. going to put it on pad scales as soon as I get some time to change things around in a friends shop the car is too small for the current leveling setup. will post the corner weights then. what a hoot
karl
notice how Porshes current uber auto carries the weight in a rear bias as well LOL

a friend in need is a pest indeed my friend Dick was kind enough to reconfigure his shop for me today so we could see the weights

with out driver full load of fuel (wet)

LF 390 RF 404

LR 529 RR 525


With driver full fuel

LF 486 RF 416
LR 628 RR 585

looking at this leads me to conclude: The driver needs to cut down on the beer the car is as light as most anything I can remember the old scirocco was close.

How much does a large motorcycle weigh?

Harley UltraGlide weights 851 lbs when bags ain't packed.

Lotus Elise weighs 1900 lbs. Has only 180 hp and does the 1/4 mile in 12.5. Shouldn't these Smarts feel a little faster?

My kit car was 2000 lbs with a 327 V8 built to 300 hp. It was scary fast.

This is a rhetorical question, yes
