I got a new iTouch the other day in addition to the Dynolicious app for it. I want to get as accurate a reading I can on my car, so that means knowing how much she weighs. I searched and saw 3100 being thrown around but I'm not sure if that's a swapped vert. So, anyone know?

Its prolly just a standard weight for your make model and year car already in the app.

My car tipped the scales at 2960 with a 5 speed, vert doors, no A/C, an SR, half a tank of petrol, and some junk in the trunk.

The app doesn't list vehicle weights, it's just a timer/hp calculator. What is the stock vert weight anyway?

I took mine to the truck scales the other night with a qtr tank of gas and 3 people and it came to 3660, so we subtracted our weight and it came out to around 3100. It's still an auto right now.

My stocker, if anyone remembers, was scaled @ approx 3100lbs w/ half tank gas & spare tire, etc.

Loki, have you done anything else other than the manual swap? If you did doors, etc, you'll want to account for that as well.

fyi, the dynolicious isn't really all that accurate, even with exact #'s everywhere else - one of the magazine companies did a review - it's decent, but not so accurate that 50lbs +/- inputted into the program will make any real difference.

Heh. I wish I could. There's nowhere around me that I can get a legitimate run on. Nearest drag strip is like an hour away. I can probably get a reading on the Maxima behind a warehouse somewhere. That car is a slow pig.
