It would be quite interesting to see what the complete car weighs wet. If you get chance to have it corner weighted or pop it over a weigh bridge I, for one, would be interested.
My LS7 engined GTR goes just over 1100kgs wet.

Thanks UltimaCH.

With fuel tanks brimmed, it was measured at 1143kg during the IVA, Paul.

My LS7 car with aircon and 80 litres of fuel weighed in at 1030kgs. I have the printout from the IVA.

All standard factory build.

Similar here, although measured on independent scales during set up.

Painted, carpeted and sound proofed.

That's a nice weight.

Thinking through what accounts for the difference, I have the 997 turbo transaxle, non forged alloys (skimped here, on account of these being the 2nd set of wheels I bought for the car (don't ask...) and the supercharger and related gubbins, as well as the general weight difference between the LS 7 and other LS engines.

It doesn't seem to be holding it back, but that's one less pie for me this weekend!

Factory Evo apparently weighs 950 dry, so add fuel, water and oil and you're looking at around 1040.

I'd like to see that on the scales though.
