Mine has 580Kg on the Rego papers. It is more than that now (more like 650) because of the extra weight in the strengthed floor and bar work.
The new 4 seater ones from Sharpbuilt and MAX FX are right on 800 Kg. They need them to be that so they can have the 2 L motors.

In NSW the weight is written on your rego papers. Maybe for you too??

thanks for your help. so the front wheels should get off the ground pretty easy with a few hundred horses.

Actually, you should be able to get the front wheels off the ground with about 120 ft-lbs of torque.
