Marauder Weight....How Much?

[Architect]

Had the opportunity to weigh my marauder today at the local scrap (recycle) dealer...He felt the scales were within 10 lbs plus or minus....
with a full tank of gasoline she weighed in at 4,260 lbs..
Lets see....19 gallons of gas weighs 190.50 lbs...
so that get's her down to 4,069.50...
although it's tough to run with an empty tank...
and probably another 30 lbs of "stuff" in the trunk...
anyway...I tought someone might find this interesting
Everyone be careful out there...architect

Sooo, you either weigh zero or you were out of the car?

Thanks for the 411.

I thought water weighed 10 lbs. per gallon....and gas is lighter and I thought that weighed about 6 lbs. per gallon...hmmmm

[Joe Walsh]

I thought gas weighed 6 lbs. per gallon....

Yep...for round numbers:
Gas is 6 lbs a gallon
Water is 8 lbs a gallon

Stout Beer is 10 lbs a gallon.....J/K

Thanks, this is something I wondered about, specially after being on the track at Sebring with those much lighter Mustangs, some who had about the same engine.

In Rider 90's 1st video, Wesman's MM weighed 4280. I wonder what added 20lbs to his?

[juno]

4260 with a full tank of gas? Doesn't that seem a little light? I thought they were heavier. But that is good news!!

[Marauder]

Doesn't Marty's car weight like 4600 cause of the dynamat and roll cage?

I still think these cars do pretty well considering their weight.

More likely: push bar, skid plates, tranny cooler, camera, Kooks, hitch

Less likely: QA1's, wheels, tires


There are a lot of little things that change our cars weight. Mine is probably on the porky side with the Trilogy and hitch.

Why are the MM's so much heavier? They have the aluminum block, lighter hydro formed frame and other aluminum components?

[Hotrauder]

Larger tires on the ground and bigger egos behind the wheel. And maybe a couple of other minor things. Dennis

wheels, tires, brakes; maybe, power seats, subwoofer, DOHC vs SOHC, intake manifold (is the SOHC plastic?)
