I remember reading somewhere the dry weight is 1600KG?

Is that right?

 

Whats the weight once petrol, water and oil are in?

 

Is weight reduction in these really worth going for? Im thinking of junking all HICAS system, rear wiper motor and counter balance (already junked spare wheel). Just wondering coz I read the post about how heavy the drivers seat is.

 

Im sure the group has gone down the weight reduction route before. . . . ..

 

Oh yeah, If you were gonna race at the pod or dragstrip would you only half fill your petrol tank? Does anyone know what approx 27 Litres of petrol weighs in Kilos?

 

Thanks

I thought it was around 1400 or 1450 kg.

 

27 litres of petrol will weigh under 27kg, but it won't be much less, I wouldn't think.

Actually, I've just looked it up and it seems that petrol has a specific gravity of around 0.71 - 0.78 with higher octane petrol having a higher SG.

 

So, 27 litres would weigh somewhere around 19-21kg.

I believe that NELSON knows ALLLLLLLLLL about this! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
