Weighed my coupe today...

[BlooDReigN]

Well, I managed to get my coupe to a weigh scale today. It had 1/4 tank of gas, a battery charger and a large socket set in the trunk.

To my amazement...it was 2950lbs! Still have all my interior and sound deadening etc in it, which I will be removing soon, along with my air bag and a couple other things. Might get it under 2900lbs with all that stuff gone

My 88GT with no options and 3/4 tank and spare tire and everything was 3200

 

[KurtPB]

from what i've seen, stock, notches are just under 3k, LX's a tad over, and GT's around 3200 like the above.

 

[TomCat]

Yeesh, how can the GTs be that much more? I'm sure my sideskirts don't weight 200 pounds.

Lol its all in that extra HP baby yeah! Maybe they use some sort of extremely dense material for the 5.0 badges that they don't use on any of the other ones...

Maybe stripper notches with no power and no a/c. All the ones I have seen (mine included) weighed in right around 3050 with 1/4 tank of fuel (includes a/c, power windows/locks).

My hatch is 3,090 without me and the spare tire/jack combo. Im sure If I went with a weld wheel set up I could get alot closer to the 3 grand mark.

Hmmmm and some of the peeps around here don't seem to think my car could weigh less than 2800lbs....


LoL i've gotta get my heads done so i can hit the scales. It's gonna be hilarious.

My notch came in at 2860 without me in it. Smog pump, a/c, sound deadening, spare tire and jack, no power options (except mirrors) and a variety of small things taken out, and aluminum heads. Next step is fiberglass hood and trunk.

Aluminum heads immediately take of ~ 75lbs of dead weight on the front end.

They make fiberglass trunks???

 

[Waz900]

Yep. I saw the Cervini's trailer at Englishtown last weekend with a fiberglass hatch and a fiberglass notch trunk.

where do you go to get your car weighed?

 

[GTOreturns]

Yeesh, how can the GTs be that much more? I'm sure my sideskirts don't weight 200 pounds.

The GT option is 180lbs heavier then a LX. Dont forget about the fog lamps and brackets.

 

[5spd GT]

I don't see a Gt weighing 180lbs more. Brackets/lights or not.

My lx hatch weighed 3160 with aluminum heads/subframes.

bloodreign - What all things have you done to lose weight? Power windows? Power locks? K-member? Removed a/c? etc...etc...

I agree with millhouse!

:SNSign: That must be it! lol
Yeah, I forgot about the foglights and brackets... probably forgetting other stuff, too.

 

[Roland69]

the seats in the GT weigh more I'm sure

Well, the car has power mirrors, windows and locks and it big ass 408 sitting on the front end....on the weight reduction side, I haven't actually REMOVED anything yet really, but I have the Maximum Grip box from MM. Check out my sig.

I'm probly gonna toss out the sound deadening, windshield washer reservoir and a few other things to get it in the 28xx range, but I intend on keeping full interior

 

[RARE5.0NOTCH]

My no option notch weights 3045lbs and that is full int and spare in the trunk to.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Let's see.....a GT typically has power everything, ground effects (which i don't know if anyone realises, but there's quite a bit of weight there), more sound deadening material, heavier seats, and that's aside from the added weight of the hatch over the coupe.
