Just reading about the new Mercedes SL500:

Damn, what a hog!

LOL, thats pretty light for it considering how much technology is stuffed in that thing. I still remembered when the old CL600 weighted in at close to 5k

But that car has a V8! It is fast too!!

A 3000GT VR4 weighs in around 4200lbs. Then again it can run 10s or better with the right turbos/fuel system.

I'm pretty sure that care weights 1725kg which is 3803 pounds. Still pretty fat...Mitsubishi has come a long way with slimming down their AWD system...

Well a friend weighed his (back when he had it) and it was 4200lbs and with his 200lbs frame it was 4400lbs. His was modded and it was the one with the auto-retracting hardtop so maybe the non-retracting hardtop one is a little lighter, I dunno.

Either way it's still a heavy ass car.

Type S

actually our cls is pretty heavy too..

Ultimac

Cl-s 4438 i think!!

Someone go look on their door. Our car is supa-fat.

THe car is about 2200 lbs last time I checked.

Ultimac

Whose car is 2200lbs? A lotus Elise or McLaren F1?

The spyder 3000gt vr-4 is significantly heavier than the regular vr-4. Convertibles are generally 200-300lbs. heavier than their coupe counterparts because of the added bracing necessary to keep the car form ripping itself apart or shaking to pieces....and add to that the roof and motors needed...you can bet that it adds a lot of weight.
The CL-S w/ Nav...minus spare and with lighter wheels in front...no spoiler...3425..I weighed it at the track.
