Two words..."race weight".
That likely includes the driver.
Also...that car is far from stock, with the cage, exhaust, etc. it is hard to determine where the final vehicle weight is.

You're looking at race weights that include drivers, hence the heavy weight....

That's right in there.

My car's registration says that it weighs 3,420 lbs., which sounds about right.

Re: Who here is saying that SS's dont weight 3700 lbs?

I have a August 2002 issue of Mustangs and Fast Fords where they ran a 02 SS against a 03 Cobra. They weighed the camaro @ 3411lb's/3580lb's with driver. Though the cobra was running 12.79's@106mph and the ss was running 13.2@106mph. Good issue.
