Weighed the car today at the dump. Came in at 3138lbs without driver. Seems not to bad for SN95 with some weight loss items. What's your car weigh?

I got my car smogged yesterday and the printout i had said my car wiehged in at 3625. Is that right?

Killercanary · Nov 1, 2003

If it still has the stock heads and no weight removal... that seems right. My car weighed 3803lbs with me in it at englishtown with the stock heads, spare, jack, 10lb dog bone, etc.

Wow i figured it would have been alot lighter with the tubular k..

Makes me wonder if the scale at my track was off the day i got it weighed. I weighed in at 3250 with me in it, i weigh about 175ish

Weight loss is..

Al heads,
Al d/s,
no smog junk,
no ac junk,
dogbone,
no front sway bar,
no back seat,
gutted trunk,
no strut tower brace,
offroad x pipe,
alum pulleys,
no egr
* i think thats it, if i remember more ill add it

Wow you're doing good at 3075 but I'd get a second opinion. Seems a little light. The front suspension stuff and kmembers worth about a 100 loss but then theres the S/C so maybe not

yellow1995Cobra · Nov 1, 2003

well what do our cars weigh from the factory, 3350ish?

viperos · Nov 1, 2003

well, they are supposed to weigh 3280 curb weight from the factory... but never seen that... mine is 3580 w/ me and 1/4 tank gas... no removal items, except tensioner pully, and ash tray

Killercanary · Nov 2, 2003

3350lbs is typical for a 94-95 coupe stock.

slo95.0 · Nov 2, 2003

3860 with me in it, WAY TOO MUCH!!!

OinkAodeOink · Nov 2, 2003

wonder if its possible to get a 94 vert down to around 3000-3100?

Methinks you need to find a different scale... one that's accurate maybe. That's way too light, especially with the stereo gear.

I think your weight is pretty accurate. Aluminum heads save a ton of weight and the stock cat-pipe weighs a ton as well. The A/C is also good for several pounds. If anything, I'd think you may be a bit closer to the 3K mark.

FWIW, my GTS weighed 3260# completely stock (nothing removed) plus a Bassani SS catback. This was w/o me and 2.5 gallons of fuel in the tank. I've since added (or removed):

Fluidyne aluminum radiator - pound or two heavier than stock
16" wheels swapped for 17's - added 8# total to the car
Aluminum pullies
Tubular K-member
Tubular A-arms
Coilovers at all four corners
Cobra R Bilstein struts and shocks (maybe a 2-3 pounds lighter)
Sway bars removed (front and rear)
Smog pump and associated tubing removed
Bassani SS offroad X-pipe
Dog-bone removed
Stock LCA's swapped for MM RR LCA's (2.5# each)
Quad shocks removed
Trunk gutted, jack and spare removed
Sound deadening material in trunk removed
Rear seat deleted (without any paneling added)
Rear seatbelts removed

I've got a ton of other stuff but they're really not that much different than the stock weight (e.g. my poly motor mounts don't weigh any more or less than the stock ones).

I haven't weighed it recently but I suspect that I'm hovering around the 3100# mark. After the hood swap and Al heads, I fully expect to be quite close to 3K even. Brakes will probably be before that though and drop me a few more pounds (aluminum calipers and 2-piece rotors). There's a ton of other things I have planned as well that both add and subtract weight. By the time it's all over (is it ever?) I'm hoping for a 2900# SN-95 with me in it, a full tank of gas, and retaining A/C , P/S, and the radio.

SPRCHRGD · Nov 2, 2003

Ya Baglock I'd guess you're just under 3100#. You mentioned some other items that we all forget about being toast like the stock Hpipe, quad shocks etc and the items I forget to add like the lower control arms (south side), My upper contols are probably lighter - UPR's.
A gts is lighter because of no wing, manual windows - what else?

Don't underestimate that stock H-pipe; it weighs a friggin ton. As far as the rest of the stuff, it all adds up. 4-5 pounds here, 3-4 pounds there... Before you know it, all that little stuff adds up to 50+ pounds.

First off, a GTS could have been ordered with any option a V6 could get. Therefore, not all GTS's are stripped down. But mine is about the most stripped you can get without getting into special deletes (e.g. the A/C required a special delete).

A normal GTS (like mine) doesn't have:
Foglights
Power leather seats (mine are the manual cloth V6 seats)
Mach 460 (I just had a tape deck)
Power windows
Power locks
Rear defrost
Cruise
Rear spoiler

I think I'm forgetting something... oh well. Additionally, my GTS (not a GTS exclusive) has the ABS deleted which is probably another 5-10 pounds lost in equipment and extra fluid.

viperos · Nov 2, 2003

there are a few things I won't get rid of to save weight, ABS is one of those things... It's saved my arse on more than one occasion...

-although, it does make doing E-Brakers almost impossible

zenboy99 · Nov 2, 2003

My car was 3353 bone stock with a quarter tank of gas.

David R · Nov 2, 2003

This may sound stupid....but what is a "dog bone" and the "rear end vibration dampner"

Just curious.
Thanks..

GTJake · Nov 2, 2003

They're the same thing. It's attached to the pumpkin on the rear end.

GTJake · Nov 2, 2003

It's the rusty thing at the top of the pic. Most people take it off when the get a steeper gear, because it's useless then.
