Ultima weights

[mt308]

Has anyone had their GTR (on Can Am) weighed?

I think the factory quote a wet weight of 990kgs for the world record car, which has a cast iron block engine (but probably no aircon?)

Wondered what an LS engined car with air con might weigh in at (as this is now a common set up). Am I right the LS engines are a fair bit lighter?

Cheers

Website shows weight as 950kgs, kerb weight of 990kgs (difference I assume is full tank of fuel - single 40 litre tank I guess).

Still interested to know if any road spec Ultimas (i.e. with air con and normal options) have actually been weighed.

Weights all sound exactly what you'd expect (as has been said with no a/c and no carpets, fully fuelled (presumably 40L rather than 80L) 990kgs sounds right).

Quite a lot of car tests I read for some of the big manufacturers show actual weights being way over the manufacturers quoted figures - seemingly much more than any options could account for (though options lists on the more luxury end of the market I am sure do account for a lot of mass).

Back on original topic(!) mine weighed in at 1030kgs at the IVA - I didn't know they had weighed it.

That is with 80 litres of fuel, aircon, carpets, rear wing.

I have LS7 and G50/20 gearbox.

So a "dry" weight of probably 930kgs or so (before fuel, water, oil).
