The Weighting Game

[fourwheeldrift]

Had my Cerbie weighed recently, almost exactly square over all four wheels (nice...) but it's overall weight was 1233kg, some way up on the quoted 1100kg. Now I do have aircon and there was a 1/2 full plastic can of Mobile-1 in the boot but this does seem quite a bit more. Has anyone else had their's weighed? Is anyone close to the 1100kg "manual" weight??

RobM Were you the Yellow Cerbera at Wroughton "enjoying himself" at the hairpin?? Edited by fourwheeldrift on Tuesday 13th February 14:30

Not me. I'm just a humble chimaera owner. I presume you peeked at me profile piccy. I was going to hack the roof off but i dont have the artist skills About your cerby weight. Do they weigh it with a full tank of gas maybe ?

[fourwheeldrift]

Actually not, I had driven a long way to get there so I only had about 1/4 in the tank. Maybe they just make them more solid than they used to!!! Would Aircon, 1/4 tank of fuel, 1/2 a bottle of oil, oh and my lid weigh up to 133kg ??? Any takers........

Assume that petrol weighs approx the same as water so 1/4 tank - (say 15 Ltr) would weigh 15kg the half empty can of oil say another kg and your lid perhaps 2 so all-in-all perhaps 20 kg max. As for the rest I can't help you! Rich...

My Cerbera 4.2 was ca. 1245 kg incl. aircon and 3/4 fuel. Fuel is about 40 kg and aircon is about 20 kg. Don't care about this, the Tuscan SP6 is heavier than a Cerbera 4.5 LW. Christof
