Went to a Ford drag event with my '99 SVT where they had certified scales so I decided to weigh it.
No, I didn't race the car :help:.
Closest guess to what the scale read by tomorrow gets a free beer and a ride in the Mustang at SZ.
No driver, no weight savings to car, had just under 1/2 tank, 20# camping supplies in back and 17" SSR wheels (for reference each weigh 2# less than 5-spoke FSVTs).

3065

Is this "Price is Right" style? Or just plain closest guess?

EDIT: BTW, a little hint: Curb weight INCLUDES the weight of gasoline ;)
 
3100 lbs

Methodology-
Mine was 3300 pounds with me in it, some stuff in the trunk, heavy 19" wheels, and a light CF hood. So a lot of adding and subtracting. Minus 200 or so for me at the time, plus heavy wheels, minus CF savings (which is a TON).
 
I'm not going but I'll play anyway ;)

I'll say 3055 with no driver and 1/2 tank. I will say even not knowing what these cars weigh I wish the Cobra was close to what it does though. My damn convertible is heavy lol!
