It looks like Pete wins.  Both closest and didn't go over.   Actual curb weight is 1879 lbs.    well done sir, don't spend all those internet points in one place.

How much power is it making? It sounds like blast.
 

I bet it pulls hard once it hooks up. I've only been in one vehicle that ever was as insane as riding a 1000cc sportbike. Had a buddy with an 800whp GTR. The way that pulled from a launch control start, or even a rolling and using launch control was just mind bending.

The motor is a stock 5.0 from an 88 Mustang GT.  So theoretically 225 hp and 300 ft/lb of torques.  It's the torques that are pretty interesting for an autocross ride, like I said before even acting very "off" it made corner exits at the limit of the tires in 3rd gear from 3,000 rpm.

Coming from a Miata where the goal is to keep the motor screaming 100% of the run, it's a different experience.

Is that with driver?

You should hang a Jeep hood on it and it suddenly becomes Emod legal.

That was just the car.  Here is the weights with the mechanic in it (he's a touch heavier than me).   The seating position is so far back it really changes the balance to get a person aboard.

And it may well have the shortest driveshaft of any car ever.

Funny - the front corners have the least and most weight.  More weight on the right for sure

zamboni's are right-hand drive, eh?

Shorter driveshaft than an AC Cobra.

Wow, that's the first time I've actually won something on the Internet!!!

Heh, asked him about that and confirmed that the sides were reversed on the scales.
