Is your chart using manufacturer weights for other vehicles? If so that chart is useless. Manufacturer weights include more fuel(90% full tank) and 75kg(165lbs) for average driver. You need to add another 200lbs+ to get curb weight.

A Clio RS manages to weigh in at 2300lbs and still meet modern safety standards? |

Unfortunately, we don't get those lightweight cars here in the States. Our overly-rigorous safety standards need to justify some fat bitch causing a head-on collision because she's texting in one hand and slamming a diet Pepsi Big Gulp in the other.

To listen to some people's consternation about weight you would think they are being asked to lift the cars over their heads. I defy anyone to tell 200 (or even 400) lbs of difference in responsible public road driving. And anyone who is serious about tracking a car would not be using an SUV.

those cars were barely even capable of the lap times and acceleration and braking force. Think about all the sports cars from 90s or early 2000s that the x3m can run circles around. The chassis need to keep up with the power. The engineers are focused on absolute capability even if it means they feel heavier and are in fact heavier... no one would want 4000 lb x3m if it developed rattles, creaks and was wobbly in the corners cuz the chassis was flexing all over the place. |

I'm driving a rental Clio for a few more weeks until my X3MC arrives. It gets phenomenal gas mileage and is so light, you don't really need to slow down in the corners. With the 5 speed manual you can actually get it move a bit despite its anemic engine. The thing drives like a go cart. Not bad for a cheap little thing while I await the permenant solution arriving soon!
