Mini on the scales... what's your Mini weigh?
 

Has anyone actually weighed their Mini Cooper? I've seen where it was about 2600 lbs w/no driver. Is this correct?

Anybody have insight? If so, mention what model and what options it has on it...

:thumbsup:

Brian Garfield has his MCS for sale on scca forums:

His is a "no options" car. He listed the weight as 2475 lbs, which I assume was weighed at a Nat'l tour autox in racing trim (lightweight wheels w/Hoosiers). I'll be curious to see what my '05 MCS weighs w/LSD, cruise, and heated seats (for the wife :wink: ), shod with SSRs and Hoosiers. My guess would be 2525 or so. Since this will be my daily driver, I had to have the cruise, and I was told heated seats adds 10 lbs at most. I'll just have to go on a diet. :lol:

My '03 MCS with every option weighed just shy of 2800 lb with a full tank of gas. By removing parts and swapping wheels/tires, I got it down to 2612 lb. Here are some of the weights:

Floormats 8 lb
rear seat bottom 10 lb
cargo cover 2 lb
driver side rear seatback 16 lb
passenger side rear seatback 16 lb
jack 6 lb
Total 58 lb of removal
2612 lb w/3 or 4 gallons
2862 w/me (about 8 gallons)
2658 w/o me 9/5/03 6:36 pm
Wheel weight savings60 lb
Exhaust weight savings10 lb
2683 gassed up, race trim
