wuzz up p5 owners????

hi i just bought me a p5 last nite not because its the shiznik but because its all i can afford for a unique lookin lil car. I had a choice between corolla, sentra, civic, protege lx, these cars r just typical cars that u see on the road most of the time unlike the p5's very few peeps r driving it...

I'd like to know how heavy this car is?
whats the horsepower and torque?

Ahhh ****, I'm an idiot, those weight numbers I gave you are the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

The Curb Weights are those posted by ZoomZoomH and JJB.

My car weighed about 2700 w/ me in it at the track, but then again I weigh about 2 ounces! You should be looking at stock #s around 102 hp and 114 torque at the drive wheels (roughly) and your P5 can run mid-high 16s stock in the 1/4 mile.
