Terminator weight

[Mach1ne]

Has anyone had their car weighed? If so, where? Truck scales, individual corner weighting, etc. I know I could go with what Ford says, that's not what I want.

I have a Mach 1, w/an IRS. Everything I read, while researching whether I should do it, said it would add about 100-125 lbs. to my car. I've used a local truck stop(yes, same scales), verified I had 1/2 tank both times.
Before IRS-3380, w/stock Mach 1 wheels
After IRS-3420 w/18"" Roush wheels

This doesn't seem right to me. Can anybody let me know your thoughts?

my 03 was weighed at silverdollar raceway in Atlanta GA and it weighed a little more than 3800lbs with about 1/4 tank of gas and me not in the car.

3,800 and 3,380, that's an average of 420lbs difference between the Terminator the Mach. Wow...

So then the GT500 isnt that far off the 03/04 Cobra :read:


And people complain about the GT500 weight

unless the scales I used were off but the GT500 is supposed to be about 200lbs heavier than the 03-04's.

on another note I know my 03 cobra hardtop was heavier than my 01 cobra vert as well. since I weighed them both on the same set of scales.

96 cobra, spare tire removal, etc. weighed on a small truck scale(no 18 wheel rig) 3440 lbs. what all did you do to get the mach down to 3380 pre IRS?

Nothing, that's why I was questioning my numbers. I still had the stock wheels/tires, 1/2 tank of gas, Roush bumper cover, Pro-3i RLCA(same weight as stock)-That's all of my mods then. My 3420 number was with everything in my sig.

This is my dilemna-I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of my Mach for a Cobra, for ease of upping the power on a car that is my daily driver.

The Cobra's weight could be attributed to: Eaton, coolant tank, heat ex., iron block, pulley shield, extra coolant lines, I'm reachin'. I just can't see where all of the weight is coming from.
