Default Weighed my car over lunch (3480 lbs)...

There's a DOT certified scale at the Shell station where I get my Subway lunch sandwiches Apparently, it's accurate within 10lbs. I weighed in at a solid 3480 lbs (without driver of course). Mods affecting weight include: 18" OZ SL rims, Milltek 3", H&R coilovers, Odyssey 925 battery, DTS, no spare or toolkit, and 1/8 tank of gas (gas light just came on). I don't think the DBA slotted rotors are any different from stock. I probably have about 10lbs of crap in the car (first aid kit, change, manual, hockey sticks, etc...and had just filled up washer fluid). Just thought I'd post for reference.

LOL. Without of course. I'm at 210 - a disadvantage if I were to race, say, Doc but not Bauer

Default Actually, I thought it would be lighter...

Wheels save 10lbs x 4 = 40 lbs.
Battery saves 14 lbs.
Exhaust saves around 10 lbs.
Spare is around 45 lbs.
DTS adds around 5 lbs.
Suspension (?).

That's about 110lbs in savings. Stock is 3590. Would have thought the gas savings would push me further...or is the 3590 spec dry weight?

It doesn't. I didn't say it did. I said, "mods affecting the weight of the car".
