I have no idea what it was rated for... I know it would read while standing on it (in increments of 100lbs).

I'll make this short. READ THE OLD THREAD!!!
No SVT ever weighed 3000lbs much less under that stock. 3075-3225lbs is the correct range depending on the year and options.
I took well over 100lbs off my car to get my SVT under 3000lbs. I can guarentee I've removed more weight then 99.9% of the folks on the boards to do that.
My current weight is 3040lbs in full street trim and a full tank. I've added some weight since it's lightest point. (optima in trunk, 0 gauge wiring, etc)
The lightest I had my SVT down to was ~2930lbs. That included removing the spare, jack, rear seats, 13lb battery, headers, custom exhaust, removed 3 steel mount brackets, aluminum roll resistor shells (the new design), etc...
This was all done on a flat surface using digital corner scales.

From my 3 year old post... (http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=scca&Number=484788&Forum=scca&Words=weight%20corner&Match=And&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=484788&Search=true#Post484788)
me said:I had my car corner weighed today. Here's the numbers for those interested. The numbers in ()'s are with me in the car (I currently weigh 217). Also, the car had a little over 1/4 tank. Not much done to reduce weight... the spare + jack was in... I removed my hood liner... removed the fuse box brace (mounted the fuse box under the battery).
Total weight: 2987 (3204)
(FL=front left, RR=rear right, etc...)
FL: 956 (1043) FR: 968 (997)
RL: 524 (598) RR: 538 (568)
Cross...
FL\RR: 1494 (1611)
FR/RL: 1492 (1595)
64.4 / 35.6 front/rear weight distribution (w/o me)
63.7 / 36.3 with me.
For one... I was expecting the car to be around 3100ish with out me. 2987 kinda surprised me. The front/rear weight distribution kinda sucks... but the cross weight is almost exact (my weight screws it up... need to loose some).
