3512-3230 = 282 of which the poster probably weights at least 175.
08 evo x (gsr, mr will be heavier)



empty trunk, full tank, no rear




z with 3/4 tank (which can't be used, of course)




I'd say this is pretty close, but that is just me.


Of course, the MR will be heavier, but that's a lot closer than most people make it out to be.



Actual weight aside, the Z drives much lighter due to better weight balance and steering feel. Never been a fan of the way the EVO drives at all...
