When I had my car weighed at the track with half a tank of gas she was 3150 for a notchback is this heavy. I thought maybe the carb coversion without AC and an Smog pump would lighten her a bit. Now I am thinking that the all wheel disk and the wheels maybe adding weight.

it maybe a little on the heavy side. you have a big stereo in the car? my car which is a hatch with a 8 point roll bar and fiber glass doors hatch and hood wieghs just shy of 3000lbs. So maybe you are just about right.

well those numbers stated above sound awful light...maybe no driver.

my '89 notch w/ manual options, ac /smog delete was 3250, 1/4 tank and me in it (i'm 140)

my '90 lx 'vert aod was 3450 w/ 1/2 tank and no one in it , power options and no deletions

you sound right on the money to me.
