the guy that sold me my coupe tried telling me it weighed 2700 pounds with an empty gas tank, meanwhile the car was bone stock, full interior, in full street trim with iron heads

lucky for him the carfax checked out 46k original miles

i'm guessing more like 3000-3100 pounds, but i've never weighed it

Mine weighed 3020, alum heads, radiator, driveshaft, no smog pump or ac and thats with a 6pt roll cage and ROH 17" rims. 1/4 of a tank and me not in it. Not sure how much I trust the scales I weighed it on but that should be close.

Something's not right there. The factory quote a curb weight of 3400lb with a full tank of gas for the fully-optioned GT, so maybe it was a stripped out GTS with the spare wheel removed.

Mine weighed 3018lbs with heavier 17" 96 cobra wheels/tires, but with the spare tire/jack removed. This is with 1/4 tank of fuel at the track scales. I would guess the actual stock weight somewhere in the 3030lb range with the same fuel level.

I've yet to re-weigh it....but even with the turbo kit, I would think she would weigh in under 3000lbs.

Mine tipped in at 3085. We weighed it for front/rear weight distribution but now I can't remember what that was. I also don't remember if the spare was in it or not, but the T-Tops were definitely on the car.

3180 in stock trim. Fully optioned LX hatch with AOD, 1/2 tank gas and spare and jack in.

I could prob easily get it down to ~3000 with some weight reduction

Mine weighs in about 3150 to 3200 lbs. This is an 89 LX hatch with me in it, anywhere from 1/4 tank to 3/4 tank, 18" wheels all the way around, no AC or smog (smog pump still bolted in), no rear seat, leather 01 GT seats, and some sound dedening removed (under trunk carpet etc).

2880 without me in it. Full interior minus carpet and the factory console delete. Nothing in the trunk either. Still has a steel hood but weighs just a little more than a typical high quality fiberglass hood. No A/C, no subs and amps or anything like that. 16'' ARE rims with fat tires all around (don't recall the size off hand). Someday i'm gonna put it on a real diet and try to get it down under 3k with me in it.

My GT hatch t-top weighs 3050 with a full tank of gas.
For weight reduction i did:
A/C removal
smog pump removal
cobra intake, might be a little lighter than stock?
fiberglass hood
removed spare tire and jack
15lb racing seats
removed all that padding under carpet
all kinds of wiring harnesses that i did not need lol
I know theres more i just cant think of them

I imagine the seats did the most reduction. Those stock seats are pigs!!
