Anyone weighed their valver?

[stevie_b]

I know the book says they are 980 kg to start with but has anyone weighed their 16-valver or Williams? Or do you know whether the 980kg includes fuel in the tank, a full washer bottle, etc.? I know I have taken about 150kg of stuff out of my car so am guessing I should be down to 980-150 = 830 kg, but would be interested to hear some real-world figures from anyone that has weighed their car.

Thanks

Steve

No, my bathroom scales just broke last time I tried it!!

Seriously though, I'm interested in this too, There is a weigh-bridge about 2mins from my house, I took it there when I got my G-tech and wanted the correct weight..........but they turned me away

You could calculate the weight based on the Archimedes principle. Just drive it into a swimming pool. The weight of the car can be calculted based on the displacement of the water.

I don't think it would float, so that idea is out the window!
