And the answer is ----> 3183 lbs with full interior, all fluids, ac and 1/4 tank of gas The car had not settled at all so the corner weights are probably not all that accurate but the total weight sure is. Too bad those BMW motors are so heavy....
Exhaust "tuner style" :
It needs some minor tweaking but it is definitely a car again

That's so sleeper . So how do you plan on getting traction?
I don't

Nice job, perfect stance. My 735 scaled at 3773 w/ the L-98 motor, 51%/49% I agree about traction, tell people what I tell them- "it's a hybrid, it burns gas and rubber"
With some decent tires it should do fairly well. With those ancient pieces of junk it is pretty slippery , but that will be fixed soon
