The weight numbers you're reading off the car labels sound like they refer to Gross Vehicle Weight Restriction (GVWR). That weight is the manufacturer's recommended max weight for the total weight of the car, fuel, passengers and cargo.

Yea, I believe most cars in our class that run 4cyc are a few 100s lighter on average. I'm going to take a wild stab and say it's because we're running V6s. Find some way to sacrifice 100-200-lbs and put a ZE in there and you have yourself an even more fun car;) Of course, I think the only person I've seen get near 200 is St. Luc and he's car is track-only. I'd be happy with getting near 100.

you can get 200 lbs outta the MX-3 easy...so 100 lbs is quite acheivable. you can get 100 lbs outta running a full tank of gas to 1/4 tank of gas.
