Little bit of background: I'm hoping to get a custom tune from Driver Motorsport to prep my car for NASA time trial events. I cannot exceed a certain Weight/HP limit, so I went to a CAT scale to weigh my car.
Car is 4 doors, DSG, base model.
Gas was nearly empty.
Jack, spare still in the trunk.
Weighed in at 3060 pounds.
Is it just me or does that seem especially light, considering 4 doors and DSG? Perhaps its the near empty tank of fuel? Whatever the case, it is lighter than I expected and limits me to a max tune of 217hp.
FYI - Someone else tried this a couple years back and came in at 3220:
