Have cloth seats? Manual window/doors? 16" rims?


I believe the GTS was dropped and then became called the "248a" package.

I doubt the "600#s lighter" part...no way. How much does your car weight?

Otherwise, answer the above question...that will tell the tale

not calling you a liar, but you are wrong


gross vehicle weight rating (maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle that is loaded to capacity, including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and other miscellaneous items such as extra aftermarket parts) and curb weight are 2 different things


your car (and theirs) probably weigh a little over 3200lbs

Sounds like you got the base model or "stripper", but when you're bragging about your car to your friends tell them you have the uber rare drag-pak option.

Its pretty much the same as the GTS cars as said above.

I looked at one, absoloutly bare bones.

Cloth V6 seats, no power locks, manual windows, base sterio system, 16" wheels, no power windows...

The cars are definatly a few hundred lbs lighter, but I dont know about 600lbs worth.

Assuming you can drive your ahead of the game at the drag strip, at least a comparable year GT with all the options. Weight savings are great.

248A package is what you have, may be about 100lbs lighter due to no power window assembly/fogs/cloth etc.

I don't see the weight difference being too much 150 or so I would imagine.

GVWR is not the correct way to weight a car. It's usually calculated based off the weight of the passengers plus a certain amount of weight for luggage. It varies for each vehicle so you really can't go by this number.

The only real way to weigh your car is to put it on a scale. You'll find it will be around 3200-3400 pounds. The difference between a stripped down GT and a loaded GT will only be 100-150 pounds. There really isn't much to add onto the car to make it weight more
