Just been having a chat with the misses about my mini as she wanted to help drill holes in it, what a good girl she is, anyways we got onto talking about how much the weight person driving can effect then overall weight.

Anyways i was wondering for the people who know how much do you weigh and how much does your car weigh.

For me i weigh 66.6kg and my pug weighs about 880 without removing bits for when i go to the strip or track so a total of 946.6 lets say with just me in.

It made me think of how much this can effect performance eg a 100kg person driving my car could be according to a 1/4 mile calculater nearly half a second slower than me.

I never really thouht about it before we all save weight on our cars but the size of us can have a big differance as well like jockies

-Ford S-max Mk2 Ecoboost
-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

I weigh too much, hence the need for a Turbo.
