i never knew that the curb weight was with a driver. I did know it was with full fluids. Thank you for that information. That would explain it.
Just did a quick search and Wikipedia states the Euro curb weight is calculated with a 75 kg driver. I will double check today to make sure the scales are working properly.
Also i had ~ 2 gallons of gas and no driver. You can see in the video i step on the scale and the weight increases by 150 lbs as thats how much i weigh.
As a side note i have dynoed my car and made 197whp/175wtq SAE corrected and ran a 9.285 @ 75.7mph with a 2.18 60ft time in the 1/8th mile. Maybe that can justify the power to weight ratio.
