Gentleman,
I don't have my manual handy. Off hand, anyone know what is the weight of the GT (when filled with gas and misc. typical fluids)

Thanks !

I think about 3,300 Lbs.
 
I heard of weights approaching, if not exceeding 3500 lbs when full of fluids.
 
Actual weights for my car:

Left Front 761# (22.0%)
Right Front 747# (21.6%)
Left Rear 966# (27.9%)
Right Rear 983# (28.4%)
Total 3,457#

Front 1,508# (43.6%)
Rear 1,949# (56.4%)

Cross (LF-RR) 1,744# (50.4%)
Cross (RF-LR) 1,713# (49.6%)

Left side 1,727# (50.0%)
Right side 1,730# (50.0%)

Configuration:
-Full fuel (17.4 gal @ 6.0#/gal = 104.4#)
-Full oil
-No driver or pax
-Trans oil cooler
-Engine bay fire extinguisher
-BBS wheels
-Goodyear slicks (new)
-Ford Racing exhaust
-Macintosh
-Pulley & Tune
-All loose items removed
-Otherwise stock configuration

Conditions:
Weighed indoors in a closed hangar
Scales laser leveled

Which is then correct, if you deduct the fuel weight...

Not quite -

Remember, he has taken out the heavy exhaust manifolds, flanged cats and very heavy muffler and installed the FRPP exhaust, which also shifts more weight forward. Great data!

Wait a minute, I thought the tank only held 16.6 gallons?

I thought it was more like 17.X
 
Unfortunately we didn't weigh my car before the mods to have a baseline weight. Has anyone weighed a bone-stock car? If there's one in the Phoenix area I'd be happy to weigh it for you. If it's a delivery-mile car, that's even better - I'll bring the scales to you! :cheers

Car is absolutely dead stock. Hope this information helps.
 
DWRT - with or without the optional lightweight BBS wheels?

We know that the stripe options adds some weight. :lol
 
2005 Ford GT #1467 has all four options, wheels, Mac, stripes, red calipers.

Re: GT38's setup

The Muffler is the Borla unit that Ford Racing sells, stock manifolds & cats,
the wheels as weighed are the C14's from CCW which are forged (BBS was a typo). The Goodyear slicks are MUCH lighter than the stockers... sorry no actual weights, but certainly a noticeable difference when carrying the dismounted tires.
