Adding all the bose junk, navigation, power seat motors, etc is gonna drive it up. But the curb weights given by manufactuers are accurate enough for comparisons between models.
3512-3230 = 282 of which the poster probably weights at least 175. |

I weigh in at 220. So that leaves 62 lbs of stuff that came out of the car's rear. I can't see the spare, bose sub, jack equipment etc. weighing that much but who knows... maybe?

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... |

Glad there is nothing on those sheets to actually substantiate that.
You can damn well bet if the Evo actually weighed what a 370 does that Mitsubishi wouldn't be reporting it as 300lbs heavier. |

We need to find every car and get to some scales. Apparently there can be a pretty big difference between manufacturer claim for curb weight and actual curb weight. And the difference can go either way.

Sounds like you aren't very familiar with the EVO trim levels. The GSR weighs a lot less than that 3500lb figure you keep tossing out... Evo X curb weight: 1,420–1,600 kg (3,131–3,527 lb) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Not sure what you mean by there is nothing to substantiate that...those are independently posted weights on cars.... |

Too many damn trim levels. I found an MT article with the Evo SE and they had it at 3,563. I'm guessing that's the "nice" Evo, not the totally stripped down evo.
