Fatty Pneumonia the metro pig.

My Metro is a fatty fat fatty.

This was done with an Intercomp 777 race scale with a 1995 Metro 4 door sedan.

* The car was empty.
* The car had a partial (about half) tank of fuel.

The Interweb seems to indicate 1940 as a curb weight. This seems slightly below that when accounting for 3-4 gallons of fuel @ 7+ #'s each (21-28#s)

I didn't really know where this fell but the forum admin thought someone might see value in it.

I was pretty impressed, my race spec Miata is at 2100lbs with no interior. Apparently my metro is a fatty though.



Some of you race, some of you don't. That 50.77% cross weight is damn impressive for any stock car, ESPECIALLY a front wheel drive, ESPECIALLY an American car.
