Actually I noticed one day on my registration that the DMV put '3600 lbs' as my Cavi's weight. Maybe they mean loaded to its full capacity? But I don't understand how that would make sense...

^mine says 3597, so i think they actually weighed the car, cause if it was an estimate wouldnt it say 3600?

I forgot what mine stated exactly, I'm too lazy to walk down to check it, but it was at least 3600 lbs. I think it was something like 3670. Even if it were an estimate, its practically 1000 lbs too much.

Where was your car weighted? I know people with your year car and it weighs nothing close to that. 3600 is more of a Midsize Sedan car's weight or something of that nature. Your car defenitley doesn't weigh that much.

Of course none of us should be anywhere near that unless severely modded (lots and lots of audio, etc), I'm closer to 22650-2690..thats about 1000 lbs less than the registration. I've debated for a while going to get it changed..but I don't want to go to the DMV and wait in line for 2 hours.

If Im not mistaken you are looking at your GVWR gross vehicle weight rating which is loaded to the max, basically all your passengers a full trunk and a full tank of gas. That number will be higher than your empty weight. You do not have to get the number changed on your registration, it is right.

I have watched about a dozen J's getting weighed at the track.
They all fell between 2650 and 2850 lbs with the exception of mine that was 3278.
So yes, my car is a fat pig.
