What is the TTA's weight?

What is the stock weight for the Turbo TA? I know the curb weight, but just wondering on the total weight.

Thanks

If you dont mind me jumping in here. Mine isnt really bone stock and has some stereo equipment in it, but it weighed 3565# w/o me in it at the nationals. This seamed kind of high to me. I was just wondering if this was about right or not.

Thanks: Jason

The only things missing on my car from stock are no front sway bar and single exhaust. I think the bar is 22lbs and the exhaust maybe another 20lbs at most. I also usually only have 1/4 tank when racing...
