Hey, I've got a question about that weight/VIN sticker in the inside of my door jam.

I finally remembered to look and check the weight of mine, and what do I see?

3495.

how is this possible?
I drive a '90 Fastback, Cruise Control/AC, but Power Nothing, no leather.
It's an auto but that could only account for 60-100 lbs, no?

I know the weight must be with passenger and full fluids, but the car is suppose to weigh ~2750(auto), assuming a 200lb driver, maybe a 100 lbs in gas, what accounts for the other 400 lbs?  Or is this tested with multiple passengers?

Also theres a lot more weight in the back than the front, i thought our weight distro was approx 53/47?

What weights do you guys have?

I've seen an FD on eBay that was at 3300lbs, and their curb weight is 100lb more than an s13.

That weight reflects the car with all the liquids full and 5 average sized passengers. My title says 2649lbs for my S14.
