Finally weighed the Clamaro
 

I've been wanting to weight my car since I bought it and finally did tonight while driving around with Joe. 3520 lb, basically full weight car with minor changes:

Removed spare tire and jack
Very light fiberglass ss hood (wish I weighed the difference >. <)
SS ten spokes
LS1 brakes
LS1 Al driveshaft

Full interior hardtop still equipped with AC cruise control and stuff.
Oh and it had about a quarter tank of gas. Thought this would be good for people to know about what these weigh. I would like to drop it into 3400 with minor weight reduction no crazy cutting fenders or hacking it up.

So with that and the times its running, it should be making about 275rwhp.

What are you gonna do to drop weight?

I need to weigh mine on the same scale so we can compare

Mine was 3,450 on the scale at LVD with about a quarter tank of gas.

I don't know. Maybe rear seats but actually might just leave it alone and get skinnies.

Do it. Its the weigh station off 93S in Derry.

That seems oddly light.

That scale might read low. A Formula should be the lightest V8 F Body though.

Formulas weigh less. I'm thinking about taking out my rear seats, gives me an excuse to have less people in my car. I may get rid of A/C too, mine doesn't work anyway. Aside from that and some lighter wheels, I want to be in the upper 3300# race weight.

klab is that with you in it? With a half tank of gas and nothing removed ( spare tire and jack still in) mine weights 3480. That's without me in it. My race weight was 3630 the other night.

If you have been wanting to weigh it why didn't you just do it at the track? lol

his was 3520 with him in it.

Yes that was with me in it. I weigh ~140 lbs. I think an ls motor is about 80 lbs lighter than an LT1 too. I bet the auto is also heavier than a t56 maybmaybe

That would make your car 3,380 lbs, that's pretty light.

Stock steel hood isnt light lol

Last time I weighed my car at the junkyard scale it was 3350 with me in it lol Could be the scale off as well, or I'm just as light as I think I am.

Klab, what time did you go? Gates just open?

~edit~ I might go weight mine this week, before I park it for the winter and remove another 100+ lbs.

When youve cut most of the underneath out it is lol

the scales are always on at the weigh stations on 93 n&s. just have to go late at night and make sure there isnt any staties in there.

That's pretty good. i weight 150 I'm right there with you.

I wish i couldve gotten a baseline of weight and shit before i started doing stuff

Damn my car weighed 3470 without me in it with half tank of gas last I checked. I took some stuff out and have more to go now.

I didn't know you meant without your in it for your weight. I figure I'm in the car when I race so might as well include that...

There are no gates just drive up. We went in around 9:30-10:00 pm plus it was Sunday. The 93N side had lights on in the booth so looped around and stopped on the southbound side. Even if you screw up and there's a statie in there I'm sure if you were just like I wanted to see what me car weighs all they would say is well move along lol.

Hmm, the steel hood does weigh a lot. I shaved a lot of weight there. But every scale has its error associated with it. Only way to be accurate is everyone use the same scale lol.

Klabs going to run a 12.6x, I can feel it

Illl be there tomorrow

I don't know if I can make it tomorrow. Maybe Friday instead. Got a lot going on

Ill take your car down for you

Its up. Its also going to rain. :klab:

Ok Kevin, What's a Clamaro?? I've heard of Clamato juice but not a Clamaro. Can you tell me the difference please? :party: :megaman: :tool: :tool:

its a metaphor for a slow Camaro I made up, based on the movement characteristics of a clam. See video:

I love clam but i dont like seafood

.

Lmao!

As long as it doesnt smell like clam I am good!!!

In the gutter as usual!!!!!!!!!!!
