Weights of the different mustangs?

[JimBowy]

What does an 87 5.0 LX Weigh stock?

Is there a website or some other resource I can use to check the stock curb weight of my 87 5.0 LX? If you can provide data, let me know if its with/without driver. I'm just looking for a rough idea.

My 92 Coupe weighed 2990lbs w/o me of course.

NO WEIGHT REDUCTION DONE, except removal of spare tire and jack. 1/8th tank of gas. I had all my smog, dog bone, a/c, p/s. Everything.

Last time I weighted my 85 GT (carbed) it was 3030 lbs. without me, 1/3 tank of gas, spare/jack included, A/C removed, subframe connectors. When I get heads It'll put it under 3000 lbs. easy

88 GT 5 Speed, sunroof, no front sway bar, no sound insulation under the rear seat or in the trunk, subframes, aluminum driveshaft, Ponys and still had a smog pump and a spare and about an 1/8 of a tank of gas weighed 3260 with me in it

89 LX 5 Speed, 25th Anniversary so it had GT Interior, sunroof, no smog, aluminum driveshaft, Pro Star Knockoffs and about an 1/8 of a tank of gas weighed 3200 with me in it

89 LX 5 Speed, 25th Anniversary so it had GT Interior, Powerdyne, Saleen Body Kit, Chrome Cobra R's, no sound insulation in the trunk or under the rear seat and less than a 1/4 of a tank of gas weighed 3300 with me in it

88 Turbo Coupe 5 Speed weighed 3460 with me in it

I weigh 126.

The compression on the 86 5.0L is actually 9.2:1 not 8.4:1

Because it has small combustion chambers and flat top pistons.
