Seems a little heavy, but not outrageously heavy.

I don't have a clue what my car weighs, but between the subframes, the vortech (and plumbing), all the stuff I keep in the back, and 230 lbs of me, it isn't light i'm sure. Guess I need to order that tubular K member and a arm kit from BMR so I can drop 100 lbs.

From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
Running light weight drag tires/wheels, no A/C, racing seat on drivers side, no rear seat, etc my Formula weighed 3,760# on the scale at Englishtown. I'm under 200#. Stuff like a roll bar, heavy suspension components and a TH400 seem to take their toll. After pulling out the bumper supports, complete 4" Mufflex catback, front sway bar, cruise, AIR, all the heat shields, most of the stereo and anything that wasn't bolted down, it dropped to 3,635# on the same scale, although I added a Gear Vendor and Spohn drag rear sway bar.

I still can't figure out why this thing is such a pig. But I'm not surprised by the number you got.
