Weight of Maximus

So I Weighed my car tonight on a scale. It said 3140lbs, which is heavier than I thought it would be.


I also got two new vids of my exhaust. I need somewhere to host it.

got you covered on one video check cc.com, man i looked around on your cardomain page and saw this photo. very cool i want to do this myself even though my chariot was recently weighed. with over 3/4 tank of gas chariot was 3005 lbs, in the 2900's with 1/4 tank.

this is the new thing, driving up and weighing your car, you know if you keep good records you have a weight to work with each time you weigh an item for weight reduction purposes and then toss it into the garbage ! lol

Well, 3/4 of a tank of gas weighs about 85 pounds. Only you know the weight of your tools...

So your car's weight is closer to 3050.

Not too bad.

I went to this place at my college. It's used for weighing cattle. I snuck in there late at night and put my car on the scale.

Hahaha, imagine if the weights were logged. Next morning they'd look at the charts, and say, "!!!!!!!!???"

I always thought MAxima SE's weighed 3010lbs. but Yesterday I was at my Local Nissan (Moms just got an 05 Frontier Crew Cab) and I was conversating with the Technicion when HE told me 98-99 Nissan MAxima SE'e wieghed in at 2850lbs... If this is true, Damn Nissan MAximas R the ****. Honestly believe that MAximas are the Best 4door sedans ever... NExt to BMW M5s our 760il... BUt then again I could never afford those...

My fairly optioned 96 SE 5 speed weighed 3240lbs on a CAT truck scale with me in the car, 3/4 tank of fuel, spare/jack, 20lbs of tools, and some work gear. Without all that and myself, the car probably weighed around 2920lbs with a 1/4 tank of fuel at the track.

And to think, my 03 G35 will be lucky to get down to 3,200lbs with a 1/4 tank, no spare/jack, and lightweight drag radial/rims.

Much of the reason the 4th gens are so quick is because of their lightweight.

I'm probably going to take everything out of the trunk, let the tank get down on gas, and try it again. I'm hoping to be under 3k.
