Anyone have the car weights handy Mr Dell

http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/GTA_the_cars.htm

Got that .I meant for the ' Others ' + pilots .

The Venturi weighs 1150kg and
Chris....the racing snake, so he likes to think weighs

errrrrrmmmmmm!













about 13-14 stone.....think this is about 80-90kg

quite a large BMI i think

but you ain't seen me....right!

Does anyone know if Performance Car Magazine would mind if a scan of the article is put up on the forum?

I think you'll probably find the 400GT road car is heavier than 1150. I think this is the original weight for the Trophys with the kevlar bodyshell, stripped interiors etc..

If you think, the Venturi 260 is 1250kgs, and the 400 which it is based on has much more bodywork, bigger wheels, brakes, engine parts such as turbos, intercoolers, exhausts etc.. Probably 1300-1350.

This is the weight as stated in the original service book. The wheels, brakes, engine parts etc are all original, except the catch tank.
Although i have seen in magazine article, could be on the Venturi web site, the weight is 1170. Who knows
I'll see if Keith can take it to a weigh bridge eh?

Mr G you do like to cause a fuss

There's a pic of your Vin plate in the article ??? It say 1450kg ??One of those times you'll be glad if you're wrong

Yep, think your right
Only going off what i'm reading.....note to self, don't believe everything you read
The car is booked in for a service so will be weighed whilst there, then i can inform you of the correct weight

I put my figures in and they seem about right ...............1180kg book + 90 -20 for my stripping out sound deadening etc so 1250kg .160 ish atw .

C'mon I'm sure you know how heavy you are boys I want to know if I just need to take a s##t to beat that Turbut Spid
