How much does an R34 weigh

Weight is an important factor in car performance. Lighter cars are easier to accelerate, brake, turn, and stop. However, car weights can vary depending on the fluids and fuel they contain, as well as the passengers and cargo they are carrying. The curb weight of a car is the weight of the car with all of its fluids and a full tank of gas, but without any passengers or cargo. The gross vehicle weight (GVW) of a car is the maximum weight that the car is safely designed to carry. It is important to stay within the GVW of your car to avoid overloading it.

For example, the R32/R33/R34 GT-Rs are known to be heavier than their official weights, as these weights are typically calculated without fluids or passengers. In order to drive a car, you need to have fuel and fluids in the car, so it is important to factor this into the car's weight when considering its performance.
