I am not going to point fingers, but some profiles have been making up numbers for their stock tC, especially in the weight department (shame shame)
Let's clear this up shall we?
The weight of the Scion tC from 05-09 hasn't changed anything above 20 lbs.
The curb weight of a manual tC is 2,901 lbs
The curb weight of an automatic tC is 2,965 lbs
Here is Mirriam-Webster's definition of curb weight:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/curb%20weight
^
curb weight does not include the driver.

With a full tank of gas and my phatass in the tC, the weight is around 3,250 lbs.

hey orin since I know you did the peel and seal insulation (maybe you did the other brand) what do you think you are at weight wise now.. just curious cause I'm working on that at the moment

I only added 5 lbs of it to my car so far. If I did the whole car it'd most likely add 20 lbs.
My weight + curb weight of tC = 3,230 lbs (estimate)

Please please please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have my Scion 2008/Winter/Spring book from the dealership right here and it says the curb weight is 2,932 for the manual and 2,987 for the automatic tCs. I'm not doubting that your right, I was just wondering if anybody else caught this from the Scion catalog as well...

That's 2008.
Is that without or with all the airbags?
I'm willing to bet, there's some difference between the 2005 to 2009 models. A lot may hinge on features that were once options (2005), that are now stock (2009) that drove up the weight.
[#] Jun 08, 2008 09:52pm Orin
there is going to be variation from source to source.
the first post on this thread is from http://www.edmunds.com/
The variation my be anywhere from 20-30 lbs depending on where you read up.

^^A truck scale, if you can find one. They normally have scales at the dump as well.
LMFAO at your new sig, Orin!

I use the scale at the track. My car weighs 3100 Pounds. That's with the spare tire out, jack out, nothing in the trunk... And of course, me in it. Without me it's closer to 2900 (180 + clothing + helmet & gear + camera that I run with). That's Including the turbo...

When I though a booming car was what I really wanted, I had a huge sub box at my trunk with dual 12's. The thing weighed at least 100 lbs.
I removed it and let me tell you, 100 lbs is noticeable!
The tC can be one serious ride if you can get that weight down. Unfortunately, cutting the weight in the tC can come at the cost of safety/comfort.
If you're building a track only car, gut that AC, scrap that roof, cut some steel.

Someone on SL weighed a manual tC and it was actually less that what scion.com says.
