That’s impressive.
Agree. Lane's aircooled Speedster was in the low 1700 pound range. So not too much of a penalty for the Suby.
And both of those Beck cars were weighed on my scales. I thought that display looked familiar, then remembered that I weighed Joe's car.
As I recall mine was exactly 1700 lbs with corner weights within 10 lbs side to side. Only 99 lbs extra for the Suby is quite low.
Front/rear bias is a bit different. Mine was 39/61 while Joe's is 36.4/63.8, I would say the minor degradation is probably due to the removal of the front full-sized spare and replacement of it with the somewhat lighter radiator and associated hardware. Regardless, it won't be noticeable and is a small price to pay for the Suby reliability.

@Lane Anderson how interesting. I thought having to be a coupe will be heavier than the no riff speedster. Good info. Is the 1700 with full gas? Would weight distribution also be better with not gas up front.
@calmotion, I think Lane's weight was for his Speedster.
@Stan Galatthanks for the kind words. I do feel it is one of the nicest looking speedsters that has come out of Bremen but I am biased. If anyone wants to read the build thread it is here and here.
@DannyP you weighed my car at Carlisle and I was shocked it was only 1800 lbs.

Exactly. I had a Beck Speedster from 2006-2018. Supposedly the Coupe, including suby powertrain and A/C, was only 1850. I didn't have a chance top weigh it.

@Lane Anderson @Michael McKelvey thanks for clarifying.
