Rock on Dude! How the heck did you lift that thing? I'd say your 
estimate is about right on or even a little low. Also if mass is forward 
or behind the axle line, it not only adds weight on that end, but jacks 
it off the opposite. I used to drag race and autocross a small FWD car 
with the battery out in the nose of it. Went down to AutoZone one 
morning with my bathroom scale needing a new bat' - lost 11 or so lbs 
off the front end. Wanna make 10 HP? Find 100 places to make 0.1.
