Wonton-

To answer your question reguarding the weight of your car:

I have a 03 Sedan.....and just last weekend I took it to an actual certified vehicle scale to have it weighed.....

The car weighed in at a mere 3,160 Lbs with 1/2 tank of gas

then I added my **** at 175# to that:

3160 + 175 = 3335

Then take into account that we have a 15.9 gal. fuel capacity, and Gasoline weighs 6.3 Lbs/gal
Therefore 1/2 tank of gas is 15.9/2 = 7.95 gal,
so 7.95 x 6.3 = 50.085 lbs

add 3335 + 50 = 3385 Lbs

3,385 Lbs w/full tank of gas and my happy *** sitting in there with a huge grin on my face.

Keep in mind that depending on the size of rims and tires that you have, as well as other mods (made from different materials) that you have, this weight will vary probably +/- ~50lbs or so from car to car....

hope this helps

P.S. The weight that is printed on the doorjam sticker is the GVWR, which is a fully loaded vehicle with ALL Passengers sitting in the car (@ ~180Lbs each). Ex. a 5 passenger vehicle will have a GVWR including full fluids/gas tank, All passengers seated in the car, and the cargo capacity filled up. This is NOT an accurate measurement of what should be input into your GTech!
