So... 1320 kilograms works out to 2910 pounds. The only things of significant weight in the car was my 44 pound hydrolic jack and jack stand set, and about 30 litres of gas.

I looked up the weight of gasoline. 30 litres works out to about 55 pounds.

So the bare weight of the car turns out to be roughly 2811 pounds.

Just kind of interesting. I usually do this with all my new cars. Took a year to get around to it this time. :)

Seems a bit heavy.
I weighed mine a while ago when I took a trip to the dump to recycle my waste oil.
Gross weight came in at 2,960lbs including driver and the items listed below.
Driver-(~185lbs)
Fuel-a little over 1/4 tank-4gal (~32lbs)
Waste oil-20gal (~120lbs)
Total car weight=2,623lbs.
