Weighed my friend's 91 GT today,

91 GT, 5 Speed, Power Everything, Aftermarket Sunroof, 5 Lug Conversion with 97 Brakes, spindles and axles, 10th Anniversary 03 Cobra Wheels, No spare, no sound insulation in hatch, no smog, Fiberglass 3 Inch Cowl Hood. Other added weight is small amp, alot of extra wiring for some alarm setup, a HUGE wideband o2, big tach, shift light.

3320 with me in it with just under half a tank of gas, 3180 without me, which is pretty accurate according to my scale at the house.

That compares with other Mutangs that have been weighed on the same scale over the years

My 89 LX Hatch, 5 Speed, GT Seats, Sunroof, AC, Power Everything, only weight reduction was no dogbone, no sound insulation in hatch and under rear seats, aluminum d/s, Pro Star Knock Off Wheels, no smog pump. 3200 with me in it, 1/8 of a tank of gas

My 88 GT, 5 Speed, Sunroof, AC, Power Everything, still had the spare in the hatch, still had the smog pump, had subframe connectors, Pony Wheels, only weight reduction was no front sway bar, no radio or front door speakers, no dogbone, no sound insulation in the hatch or under rear seats, aluminum ds, Steeda Aluminum LCA's (dunno if those were any lighter than stock?). 3260 with me in it and an 1/8 of a tank of gas.

My 89 LX Hatch, 5 Speed, GT Seats, Hardtop, Power Everything, AC and all that, still had smog, also had a Powerdyne BD11A Supercharger, Saleen Body Kit, Chrome 17 Inch Cobra R Knockoffs, only weight reduction was no sound insulation in the hatch or under the rear seat, no dogbone. 3300 with me in it and a 1/4 of a tank of gas.

My friend's 93 Notch, 5 Speed, Hardtop, Power Everything, still has ac and all that, Pony Wheels, only weight reduction was no dog bone, no sound insulation in the trunk or under the rear seat, aluminum d/s, no smog. 3160 with him in it and an 1/8 or a 1/4 tank of gas. He weighs 160.

My friend's 93 Notch that I ended up buying later, 5 Speed, Hardtop, Power Everything, Centerline Warriors with Skinnys on the front, subframe connectors, supposedly 31 spline axles (never checked, sold the car), battle boxes, weight reduction was TFS Aluminum Heads, FMS AC Eliminator, Kaenen Fiberglass Cowl Hood, No Front Sway Bar, No sound insulation in the trunk or under rear seat, might not have had any anywhere unsure, aluminum d/s, no dog bone, no front bumper support. 3003 with my friend in it, he weighs 140.

Nice...I'm hoping to get my car to around the 2900lbs mark. Probly gonna need to get rid of a few more things before it gets that low though. Right now I would say it's somewhere between 3000 and 3100

I put my 1989 LX 5.0 on a diet a long time ago...I couldn't afford many power adders so, I took the advice of a Mustang Mag and did the deed...
I removed all of the stock sound deadening material from under the carpet, hatch, etc....removed the carpet underlayment, sound deadening material behind the hatch panels....the back seat, front sway bar...what else....oh, the counter weight over the center section of the differential and I put Weld Ultralites at all four corners. I got my weight down to 2850 without my fat arse in the car and with me in the car, 3050. I managed a decent 12.54 @ 111 mph with the weigh redux, heads, cam and intake (in 111 degree heat and a horrible, 2.10 60' time!).

Now that I'm getting older, I want to put it all back! Good luck to the rest of you!

Good info on that 2000 GT there.

We have been wanting a friend of ours to weigh his 00 GT so we can figure out how much power the Cobra is gonna need to outrun em when it gets the blower on it soon. 00 GT 5 Speed, no leather, power everything, Vortech S Trim, Prostars w/ Skinnies on the front, no front sway bar, etc.

They might actually be pretty close in weight.

I bet those doors save a TON of weight....Where did you get them?
