    Mine is 60 lbs less than official 2,890 lbs. It said mine weights 2,830 lbs! What about yours?

    I have 2006 package #3 without Bluetooth, NAV, VSC, HID, etc.. Do they actually weight extra 60 lbs?

    I am not sure how the DMV got the number from. Probably the dealer weighted it and got my car registered with 2,830 lbs?

    Hmm... yours is also 06'. Could it be that they reduce the weight on 06 MY? Can anyone with 04 or 05 disprove my conjecture?
