What Does A TR Weigh?

Norbs is driving me nuts wondering what his TR weighs. Can someone give me a definitive answer on what the weight of a:

1. T-TYPE Hardtop
2. GN T-Top

I'm well aware Norbs has added a couple of pounds to his car.

Mine was about 3480 or so without driver, but did have a cage and structural supports welded in.

Brad, my Ltd weighed 1710 kg's at the King city weigh scale....3762lbs with my fat ass jammed in it. Cut off 240lbs of sloth and I guess the car weighs approx 3520lbs.

Thanks Jim. The Mad Scientist can now break out his calculator and tally the final weight of his TR. If memory serves me correct, I'm sure I read on a thread somewhere that Grumpy says Melissas car weighs in at 3660. Hopefully Dan will chime in and let us know. Gonna drop by the 5th Wheel Truck Stop in Bowmanville and get mine weighed in...I've had my car on a diet all summer.
