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...

How low can you go.........
Brian Garfield has his MCS for sale on scca forums:
http://www.sccaforums.com/ubb/ultima...p/topic/46/800
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
), 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.
