Just curious to see what the what on a 5.0 Fox body is, like a 1993 Cobra for example?

I just picked up a virgin 92 notch with 31k on. Plan on hitting the scales over the weekend. I'll get back on here once I get the ticket.

Yeah 3255-3300 sounds about right for a full weight GT. I really want to get my car on a scale but I don't know of any around my area. There is a truckstop scale on the side of the freeway but i don't wanna go near it. Truckers scare the hell out of me.

before i took out my rear seats and got the racing seats mine weighed 3500 w/ me in it. i got out of the car and asked how much it weighed then, he responded, "3300, go on a diet." I wanted to punch him. O yeah, and this was a stone/mulch supply place.

Yup....layin off the Big Macs. Seriously though, it's not all that bad. I'm nearly 6'3" and one of those gym rats who has nothing better to do with my free time other than swing barbells around at the gym and chilling out on this board......damn......I need a girlfriend!

Mine weights 3048 without me in it and with full tank of gas spare tire and jack. The only weight reduction is a fiberglass hood, weld rims, no power steering or AC pump.

My 85 GT weighs 3180 lbs. with me in it. Thats with spare/jack included and 1/3 tank of gas. I've taken the A/C out but I've added subframe connectors, so they almost cancel each other out anyway.

Not bad for a hatch hey?

I got it weighed at 3030 lbs. without me in it. I only weigh 145-150 lbs......and yes the pre-87's were lighter. They were basically like 87-93 LX hatches.....except mines probably even lighter because it's carbureted and my intake manifold probably isn't nearly as heavy as an upper and lower in a fuel injection car.
