[QUOTE="nofreeride, post: 956434, member: 15740"] Weight. There's a weigh station a few miles from my house. It's seldom manned and the scales are usually on. After having the windshield installed, I drove over there. Front axle: 800 lbs Whole car: 1400 lbs Rear axle: 600 lbs That's with me in the car (~220lbs) and the scale goes in 50lb increments, so I figure the car weighs [B]less than 1200 lbs[/B] (1/2 tank gas). I didn't do corner weights or get out of the car as it was raining and a truck pulled up behind me wanting to use the scale. I'm satisfied: Front-biased distribution with enough on the rear for some traction. 1200 lbs gives it a power to weight ratio of 8.3 lbs/hp. [/QUOTE]
