Sorry, but I am not sure this is accurate, so I'll just post it up. iirc the S2000 is heavier, infact I believe it to be a different GVW measurement being theoretical, not actually true. Something about assuming two occupants, a full tank of gas AND calculated weight based on cargo space. I took my 7'er to a truck scale and it was substantially less than what other people, and wiki, said the GVW would be. The plate on my door said 4700lbs, but I'll tell you what, it was a lot less than that but I am not exactly trusting scales made for vehiles over 14,000lbs of GVW.
A friend of mine that is studying to be a BMW tech out at UTI looked at his E39 M5 and I think did the same thing, he was taught the same thing, added weight based on those factors, so a trunk'd car may not be the same as a hatchback for that theoretical load.
Has anyone *actually* measured or is this all spitballing trusting plates, manuals and popular opinion?
