For 2002 -

GXE = 3218
SE M/A = 3224/3261
GLE = 3275

I don't know about the options. For msot, not that much since even a moon roof is replacing metal that is already there. The leather shouldn't be that if you think about it, the ABS is mainly small sensors and the activator. If a few pounds here and there is THAT important, take out the jack and spare and that will probably be the same or more than all the possible options.

The heated seats will actually make it lighter if you leave them on since hot air rises - like a hot air balloon.

The Reason.....

The reason I asked was because I have seen in a few posts that GXE's are fater than SE's because they are lighter. So, I was try to see actually how much lighter they might be lol Looks like at the most the difference will be 70 pounds or so for a fully load Max??

One word: Fuel...

You didn't have a full tank did you? I bet Nissan did. Gas isn't all that light. Add the spare, gas, and who knows what weight you'll get. Besides you have no idea if the scale at the track is really right, or Nissan's for that matter. It might be just like the speedo in your car.
