Great job Bill! This type of data clears up many misperceptions.

I agree it is amazing that the Enzo w/ V12 and CGT w/V10 engine still weighs the same as the GT3 RS 3.6L Flat6

if you ever go to a drag strip, they have scales to weigh your vehicle.

Have you ever been to the drag strip in Vegas? Let's just say LV is not a "Euro-Car" type of town. The boys here are all about cars like the "General Lee" from the Dukes of Hazzard. Last time I visited the Las Vegas Speedway strip they were racing puke green Chevy Vegas! I mean these guys make UFC fighters look like M.I T. professors. If I showed up in my GT2 (with my Nautica polo and Cole Hahn shoes), it would be a laugh riot! Seriously, though, I'll keep your suggestion in mind because I am very curious about what the actual weight of my GT2 really is. Thanks

OK, but do you think it's accurate?

I'm trailering my GT2 to GMG at the end of the month for a GMG roll bar install in speed yellow. I'm sure they probably have the facilities to weigh the car.

Yeah, I can see that. To them your car is like a veyron. You would be surprised how cool they think it is for someone to come down with a 100k+ car and run it, instead of letting it sit in their garage, which is what they all think we do.
