????  

Going back in the memory banks, but my '99 was 3,520 in showroom trim with a
full tank of gas. Dropping the gas the 4 gallons, and weighing the stuff I
removed, got it to ~3,400 by my estimate (all seats were in). I weighed 208
in race trim with helmet at the time, so it was around 3,608 ready-to-go.

There are a few parts deletions on the '99s that dropped "maybe" 35-40 #s
from the earlier cars.
