Well, when I weighed mine, it was just a 302 with iron heads. No smog/egr, no fender weights and dogbone, all of sound deadening inside door panels removed, x brace under car, no rear seats, pro stars all around, and removed the steel plate under the steering column, and since it had no air bags, I didn't have to remove those. Besides that, nothing else was removed. I can't wait to see what it'll weigh with tubular k-member, a-arms and coil overs.
Thanks. Was that with you in it? How much gas? I guess heads subtracted 40-50#, fb hood ..15#?, nitrous adds 30# prolly. So that's roughly 60 or so # lighter. Do you have subframes? Aftermarket rims, etc..what is a steeda "g-track?"
I'd trust a scale from a truck stop or a garbage dump over anything I found at a race track or a dyno shop. Here in Ontario, they're regulated by the Provincial Government through the Ministry of Weights and Measures and must be within +/- 20lbs by law.Hopefully someone can back this up with a scale that is not at a truck stop.

That’s as accurate as you’re going to get with any automotive scale.
In fact Pokageek, I'd be more inclined to believe that the scale you weighed your car on was the one that's out to lunch, not everyone elses.
Yea my car is heavy in the back. MTX 9500 12" and My Odyssey 2150 battery are at least 150lbs in the trunk. Thens the MM Sub frames blah blah. I live off i95 ....I should find a truck stop/ Weight station somewhere.
The V6 XR7 is a lot heavier than that. It's got the Supercharged 3.8L V6 (same as the one in the Thunderbird SC) and clocks in at around 3,800lbs. That includes manifolds, inlet piping, intercooler and piping and blower. Not to mention the early XR7's with the V6 came with a very heavy air ride suspension.p.s. I looked up a XR7 and it is 120# heavier with a v6:
Curb Weight: 3564 lbs

The standard LS models with the N/A V6 comes in at around 3560-3580lbs and the XR7 V8 sits at about 3,725-3,740lbs.
Ahh. I think I looked up 1994 and it may have not had that model then. I was surprised to see it was as heavier than the vert even with a v-6. That s/c prolly more than makes up for the weight tho.

Yeah, you also need to realize that with an over all length of over 16 1/2-ft, a width of just over 6-ft, and a wheelbase of 113" (over a foot longer than the Fox4 chassis) there's no denying the MN12 is just a big friggin car as a whole. And since all models, regardless of engine size got the big heavy IRS out back, its no surprise that even the base model would be heavier than the much smaller by comparison SN95....even in a convertible.
I did not know they had IRS! I bet it would handle exceptionally well with proper weight distribution. I was also unaware the IRS made a car heavier. Maybe it that the live axle just looks heavier, lol.
