Did you know my car weighs 2985 lbs?
#1
Neither did I. Drew and I went to HRP tonight, and he drove up on the scale, he weighed 3085? or 3045?(no driver). Mine weighed 2985 (no driver). I wonder how much it would weigh if I took all the dynomat out of the floors, doors, trunk?

I haven't weighed yet, but according to my registration, my Max is listed as weighing 3000lbs exactly. I don't know what model they are taking into consideration (GXE I assume) and I figure that's a "wet" weight. Since mine's an SE with sunroof and a powerseatt, I figure I'm about 30lbs heavier......but I've got a Y-pipe (-13 lbs) and light rims (-20lbs total).
I'd figure a "loaded" 4th gen 5 speed Max (spare, jack, full gas) is close to 3030-3080lb. When you've got a 1/4 tank of gas and no spare/jack, you've shed about 140lbs.

why do you guys care
man, why do you guys care so much, it really doesn't matter if it's 20lbs ligher or heavier, and also, you should weight yourself with the car, because that's what really matters if you care that much, so you with the bellies, start loosing weight and get in your car
j/k folks, but seriously, who cares, just drive and whip it around turns

Times? we don't run for times. Its all about the hamburgers, Gatorade, VP race fuel fumes floating ever-so-lightly over freshly sprayed VHT and smoke from some loud-assed domestic filling up the stands. THATS why I go!!
I don't care about the weight, if I did, I would drive a Honda. I would rather increase the HP, but I figured this would be a good spring-board for some senseless posts

Don...The dynamat in a max is only under the carpet and under the rear seats. There arent any in the doors...And there isnt that much, maybe 20-30 pounds. However, i have an intersting idea. Before hitting the track, start your car and take out the battery!!! Theres 40-50 pounds right there..Has anyone thought of this before?

The car will die. I remember someone doing this a while back.

Russ, if the car dies, it's got a major alternator problem.. that's one of the standard ways of testing the alternator.. pull the battery cables and see if the car still runs. if not, it's time for a new alt.
And no, the car doesn't run OFF the battery.. once the car is started, the alternator provides the electricity to run everything in the car. the battery is there for starting purposes only. it DOEs act like a huge line filter though.. when you step on the brakes or flip on the lights, it takes a short time before the alternator is able to step up the output, so your lights will flash or dim slightly for a sec. every time you flip a switch or step on the brakes.
You'll notice this if/when your battery is starting to go bad..

btw, someone mentioned taking the battery outta the car. i don't think it's a good idea. the battery acts as a buffer to absorb electrical spikes and and supply power when the alternator is turning slow...
