Re: Weights

Don't disagree with positions stated, but replicas hold fuel too! Maybe not as much though. My car can take 45 kg of fuel, 15 imp gallons. My GTDs dry weight is around the 1160 to 1170 kg mark.

Were the weights mentioned above at pre or post race srcutineering? If before a race then quite likely to have big fuel loads but not if the weights were taken at the end of a race.

I always thought the original cars came in at about 1000kg, hence my initial comment above. Can anyone state the factory spec weight here?
