How much do they weigh standard and what's a realistic weight figure after any excess has been shed, if that's even possible to a certain degree? Cheers

has everyone gone mental today?? Mine weighed in at 923kg with about half a tank of fuel so the 930 standard is about right. Think the lowest VXT I can think of goes to rapidos, 800kg?

imho you will struggle to shift much more than a hundred kilos from the car... After that it will become twattng expensive to shave grams (like with bikes :lol:

Its funny, as I weigh just over 100Kg, so I would never be able to remove that much of the car to make a difference VX'er Rippz, is half that in a N/A and I noticed that could sure shift when he wanted it too. on track with a pax, you can really feel the added weight

My cars are getting progressively fatter, noticeable to me when trying to push it out the garage. Bike engined Fury felt like a shopping trolley in comparison. Note I said fatter. If anything they've also got faster

Around the 900kg mark is kind of what I expected. Where does a 'gross' vehicle weight of 1150kg come from then off of Autotrader? What else is included to increase it to that value.
