Does this weight seem right?

I took my car (95 GTS)to the truck scale last summer and it weighed 3140. This seems light to me even with aluminum heads, no ac, no smog pump, glass hood, etc. I would have thought a couple hundred pounds heavier. Does this seem right to you guys and what weights are you getting with simular mods?

Mine's 3350 w/o me in it. If you subtract the extra weight from the TKO-600, blow proof bell housing, 351w block, and 10.5"/9" rims/tires it would probably be closer to 3200. I don't have smog or a/c, still have full interior.
 
Yeah. All those weights are about right. Unfortunately, my car has every single option except for rear defrost. I would like to get rid of my power driver seat rack. That setup will brake your back when you take the seat out.

A stock GT weighs 3375lb with a full tank of gas. Yours should be at least 120lb lighter and possibly more. How much fuel did you have in the tank?
 
Whatsup lOw5.0. Where u been?

"blow proof bell housing"
Hmm.. I am getting one of those but it is aluminum and weighs very little...did they change the way they are made?

Maybe, I dunno. Mine's steel and weighs 50-75 pounds. :notnice:


I'm still on here a couple times a week, just don't post much. Been gathering parts to start rebuilding my engine. Just need a set of pistons, then I can get started.
