Vehicle weight database

[bret]

For the last couple of years we have been collecting vehicle weight data in conjunction with our new coilover shock product line. http://www.ridetech.com/info/2011/08...ight-database/

I thought you guys might find this information relevant. Now you know the extent of the work we continue to go to to refine our product lines. We will be adding weights to this database on an ongoing basis.

Larry...this might be a good candidate for a sticky in this suspension section...?

Bret, this is awesome! I was wondering if this info would be available to us or if I would have to call Darren and beg for info....

Thanks again

Line #3, first tab lists a 1934 Corvette? What'd they do, graft an old vette to an older chasis?

[GrabberGT]

What?!?! No Maverick? Not only can I not get parts for it but it doesnt even make it into the database. LOL


Nice work though.

Any details on the weights? Full tank of gas, all fluids full, ready to drive, etc.

Just curious, because I had my Nova weighed and it was 3,232, and I had roughly 1/2 tank.

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Bret!
This thread is now stuck to top of the forum section.

All of these cars had to drive to our booth to get weighed, but no idea what the actual fuel level was.

We just updated the website again since weighing cars again at Ft. Worth GoodGuys show. We've now weighed almost 400 cars this summer!

Since we will have the rig out west already for SEMA, we are considering setting up shop at the last 3 Goodguys shows of the year (Pleasanton, Scottsdale and DelMar). Any of you guys on the left coast interested in getting your car weighed?

[LM7_67]

Interested.

[GrabberGT]

I wish I would have thought of it when you weighed the car here at Lonestar GG but it wouldnt take much to go ahead and find the Center of Gravity at the same time. Just raise the rear of the car up while on the scales and calculate.

Not mine but maybe this helps someone.

My 2003 S-10 regular cab with a stepside weighs about 3050 lbs. I have a 50-70 lbs tonneus cover on the back, so you could probably subtract a bit from that total. Here's a simple diagram with the corner weights and info when I had it corner scaled.

ridetech has a whole new list of vehicle weights from the latest goodguys shows. Below is an image of all the weights. Though it might be easier to search and sort the weights online at: http://www.ridetech.com/tech/coiltech-2/

[RobNoLimit]

What, not going to include my new C-10 in the Del Mar weight list?

[jorge]

Ha opps, totally missed your weight after sorting through the files the first time. Here's your weight without the driver:



And something much more interested to look at The new truck looks great.

[RobNoLimit]

Haha, Thanks, but I don't think it will help other C-10 guys - nice pict, I look like a little kid in it.

My cars weighed 2733 on my intercomp scales. 1965 falcon
My 65 mustang weighed 2663.
