No, it wasn't.

Just because that's the first 4 digit number you saw on your door sticker, that does not mean your vehicle actually weighed that much.

Re: How much does YOUR car weigh??
I'll have to get a pic of it.

I thought it was weird too considering the curb weight specs listed on the GTA Source show the car should weight between 3460-3530lbs.
