There is a lot of variation from one make to another. Last September at our Minnesota meeting a bunch of cars were put on the race scales. If my memory serves correctly the range was from about 2100# to 2800#. Engine weight has some effect, but the biggest variable is in the body construction. As you might expect, the FFR cars are very light due to aluminum inner panels and light body construction. On the other hand, Midstates are at the heavy end due to lots of steel reinforcement, thick layups, inner liners for hood and trunk lid, steel tunnel liner, etc.
