The previous owner weighed the Tempest the one time he had it at the track and it weighed 3650 lbs with him in it and a half tank of gas....he weighs at least 225 lbs, and I'm at 150 lbs, so 3575 lbs with behind the wheel. I plan on swapping it to manual steering which will shed another 30 lbs, so it'll be 3600 lbs with me and a full tank of fuel. That is almost 500 lbs lighter than my '70 Judge (4080 lbs with me)! I wish they put RAIV's in stripper Tempests in '69 and '70...they would have been game changers!
