2008 GT 5spd Man - weight

[69mach1-409]

I weighed my 2008 GT Prem with a 5 spd manual yesterday on the Etown scales. With alittle over a half tank of fuel, about 5-10 lbs of misc crap in the trunk, the factory wheels back on her for winter, and my fat butt in the drivers seat she came in at 3610 lbs.

I weigh in around 225-230 lbs, so take me and the crap out of the equation.. she weighs 3370-3380lbs with alittle over a 1/2 tank of fuel.



Mods in sig, though I'm probably a wipe on savings vs added weight.

*I have had the spare out sense March (going back in next week) and I do not have the Shaker 1000 (subs in trunk)*

Wow, I always thought they where around 3500lbs without a driver. Good to know they aren't that heavy.

I weighed mine at HRP in Houston last weekend. It's an '08 5 spd Deluxe without any frills. It weighed 3505 without me in it and 1/2 tank of gas. Sub-3400 sounds pretty light.

My 05 Mustang GT 5 spd manual weighed 3476lbs with a full tank of gas and full weight bone stock without a driver or passenger. I have every option available in 2005 with the exception of the Shaker 1000.

Currently, my car with a full tank of gas and full weight is under 3400lbs.

good to know! i have begun to subtract weight (steeda lightweight radiator support brace w/ place for sways). im also looking at the bmr k-member w/ lower motor mounts. if anyone has done that let me know how it went.

and, does anyone know a good, cheap, lightweight track rim that fit our cars (about 18x9.5 or 10)

No, but I can tell you not to use the GT500 rims/tires. They're 60+ lbs each!
