Weighed in at a sprightly 4020#, with a +/- of 22# on a commercial scale.

2016 R with active lights, leather option, floor mats (!), glass roof ....and 58% full of gas according to the dash readout.

A beauty, but not a slim beauty.

 

cool, thanks. Coupe right? So 3954 lbs wet, no fuel. ....maybe we won't quite get to my 4050 prediction at the upper end.

Cheers,

It'll be more accurate if you weigh the car fully topped up. The F-Type tanks are all 18.5 gallons. We can always subtract the weight of the fuel. (111 lbs.)

 

Yep; much more accurate than estimating the weight of a partial tank. Exactly what I intend to do: fill up, weigh and deduct.

Cheers,
Dave

 

Yes a Coupe....sorry to have missed that.....keep in mind, the floor mats weigh at least 2-3# and I didn't check on the windshield washer tank....

 

Hmmmm.....
Foosh, maybe you should take that boat anchor out of your trunk. (Something ain't right)

 

No offense intended to anyone, but I need to see a picture of the weight slip from a certified scale.

 

What If I put one hand on a bible when I'm typing? LOL... I will drive from the dealership on Tuesday when I pick mine up to the weigh in station and let you know what mine weighs in at.

 

Dont blame you. Hard to believe an AWD R Coupe is only 100 lbs heavier than a base vert.

 

Oops, brain hemorrhage
It's more like 270.
Believable

Everybody needs to lighten their booty.

 

I get 100 too, 3920 vs. 4020. Poster didn't say if that was what the scale said, or that was after backing his weight and fuel out.

 

one of the posts he said "without fuel". Since no mention of his weight, I finally concluded it did not include his weight. Could be wrong.

 

Like I said, without a picture of the actual weight slip from a certified scale, who knows how the reported number was arrived at.

 

Wow...this is getting like the "fuel in the hose " debate.
My '16 R Coupe was on the scale, I was inside the booth with the guard/weigh guy. The didigital read out was 4040, then settled at 4020.
It is a scale at a trucking yard and the scale calibrating guy told me on the phone it had recently been calibrated with a 10kilo +/- accuracy.
The scale is used primarily for multi axle trucks....not delicate Jaguars.
For those doubting my integrity...solve this contentious issue but bellying up to the bar, plunking down your $20 and posting your notarized weigh slips.....oh, I forgot to mention, nitrogen in the tires....well three of them, I had to ad some "air" to the rt front...it was down 4# of pressure. Hope that doesn't skew the results.

 

It's nothing like the "fuel in the hose" debate.

Not doubting your integrity, but you didn't provide enough info for an apples-to-apples comparison, and the best way to do that and erase all doubt is to post a picture of the weight slip. One very important fact that you omitted and now just mentioned is that you were not in the car. Posting a picture of the slip also demonstrates that the posted weight is on a calibrated scale.

You don't seem like the type, but there are also people on internet forums who just make stuff up.

It doesn't matter that it's a truck scale, they are segmented for the length so they can get a weight for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd axles. That's important for heavy vehicle tire inflation pressures and highway weight limits. They are also very accurate. When you put a car on one, you're in the 1st segment which would be the first axle on a large truck, but it gives you a very accurate weight for the entire car.

Most truck stops in the US require that you be in the vehicle for the drive on and off CAT scales, and I posted a picture of my base car weight slip above. So the 3920 lbs included my 190 lb. body.

So how much do you weigh? We can then add that to your posted number for an apples-to-apples comparison. ;-)

 

The scale had at least 3 segments...the weigh guy/ guard had me on the mid segment....one ahead and at least one behind the one the car was on.

As for what I weigh, it's about 210 in my skives just for your info....as I was in the booth with the guy, the car did not have me in it....so, it's the car with 58% fuel ( if the readout is accurate...I make no representation about that ).

Hopefully someone will come up with a suitable documented weight for a R Coupe so this epic can be put to bed.

 

Thanks, now it makes more sense. That would put your car at 4230 because you had almost exactly the same amount of fuel I had in mine when I came in at 3920. I've never seen a truck scale that would allow someone to be outside the vehicle, and I use them often to weigh my 42,000 lb. GVWR motorcoach.

Put another way, your 4020, equates to 3730 on my car.

Car weight is a very serious issue for enthusiasts, and every bit as important as HP and torque, sometimes more so. Thus, it's not a "how much cheap fuel is left in the hose issue."

It's also a reason that virtually every big-league race car driver in any series looks kinda like a thoroughbred horse jockey. :-)

 

Why are we talking numbers with people in the car? All definitive numbers should have the driver weight omitted.

 

I know, but the only really easy and fast way (accessible to almost everyone) to get a calibrated weight is to use a truck stop scale which are common on every major highway. As I said above, they almost always are drive on, drive off scales, which require you to be in the vehicle on every one I've ever seen. You then subtract out the weight of the human.

Thus, the assumption was AWD was in his car when he said it weighed 4020, but he was not, and didn't mention that or his weight until later. That didn't seem credible when my no option base car came in at 3920 (with me in it), but now we know.

Obviously, we're only interested in apples-to-apples comparisons, which requires all variables to be known.

 

A while back one of the V8S guys and I went and weighed on a certified NHRA scale. His S came in at 41xx lbs with some junk in the trunk. My XFRS came in at 4345 lbs! Uggh!!
