I just ran out to the truck scale (for a moving company, so it's fairly accurate), and as I was driving over it, the glorious 2400lb number stared me in the face. That's 2400lbs with me in it (190lb) and 1/8 tank of gas. So, the car now weighs 2200lbs empty!
It is *quick* too. It doesn't have that surge of power that my mkii turbo did when the boost hit, but it screams in the top end, where the 3sgte fell on its face. The blacktop has nothing below 4k, and it really doesn't shine until 5.5k or so, but from there to redline, it really puts a smile on your face. I'd like another 40hp or so, but considering it's got a mostly stock 1.6L 4-banger out of a family sedan, the car is impressively quick.
The blacktop's lightweight rotating assembly combined with a 9lb flywheel and a super lightweight underdrive pulley make it rev almost as fast as a crotch rocket.
