Thanks,

I figured it would be around 3400. A friend had his cobra dynoed at 276 RWHP and I wanted to see how accurate the E/T HP calculators are. Looks pretty close to me. Anyway, thanks man.

I just had mine weighed 2 onths ago before I moved and it weighed 3200 lbs approximately, but I had no jack, spare tire, and an off road H pipe.

Today's trivia question:

How much do 4 cats, a jack, and a spare tire weigh?

200lbs? Hmmm.. I have a cat sitting in my trunk right now. Maybe I should weigh it.

cobrayankee, how much fuel did you have in the car? That seems extremely light for that car or any SN95 accessorised/loaded (pw, pl, etc.) stang. Not saying it's not. It's just extremely light.

Anyways, my GTS weighed in at 3200 with over half a tank of fuel (right between half and 3/4 tank), spare tire and jack and full stock exhaust included.

The jack, spare tire and tire iron weigh 44lbs or did in my car. I would bet the cats weight close to 35lbs???

Its also the piping too that is lighter than stock. that's what it weighed though and I had about 2 gallons of gas only. I still have the weigh receipt. I had to do it when I moved so the Air Force would pay me by the pound for what I moved. I was surprised too, but didn't argue with them. More $$$$$$ in my pocket.
