Car Weight?

[Road Ready]

I've not actually gotten an actual weight of the car.

 

Should I include my weight when I get that? For the Seven, the operator's weight is a much more important factor than that for some super car the weighs 3X as much.

 

What do Caterham Super Sevens actually tend to weigh with fuel and driver?

My Superformance S-1 weighs 1750 with full fuel and 220 lb driver. Verified on a certified traffic scale.

My Birkin was ~1275 when weighed at the local quary

(without spare tire, gas, extra junk i usually drive with, OR DRIVER) - actual results my vary with driver & setup.

My '62 Lotus Seven weighs 1160Lbs with driver and a full tank of fuel.

My 2004 Caterham SV weighed in on corner weight scales at 1,360 lb w/o the driver and with a half tank of gas.

My porky Locost came in at 1560 empty. Too many LBC parts, I think.

I bought four 400lb bathroom scales and made some wooden "ramps" to roll the car on and off for corner weighting. Total without spare, spare carrier, or much gas, was right at 1200 lbs for my '03 Birkin. It's nice to have scales at home so the impact from changes (recently bought new, lighter wheels), can be seen right away.
