Cross weights are a bit off, not horrible though (~49.4% where 50% is optimum).

I always thought she seemed to handle better with a passenger riding along...that just sounds dirty.

I think you meant 2940 with just 180lb driver. Gas is about 6.5lb/gallon and I believe our tanks are 13.5 gallons right? So a full tank of gas is roughly 87.75lb.

2760 + 87.75 + your weight = total car weight

BTW, do you know how much the RSX weighs?
