Re: weight?
My invoiced shipping weight shows as 3530 lbs. Pretty close to the car that was taken to a scale. Mine is a 5L-5 speed. The door placard says 4266 lbs. Obviously the convertibles weigh less by about 700 lbs. and the door placard shows the manufactured weight prior to convertible conversion.

Re: weight?
I think Convertibles weigh more than hard tops...

According to Specifications
1990
- Camaro Coupe - 3107
- Camaro Convertible - 3348
1991
- Camaro 2-Door 3103
- Camaro Convertible 3343
- Firebird 2 Door 3121
- Firebird Convertible - No Data
1992
- Camaro 2-Door 3,105#
- Camaro Convertible 3,220#
- Firebird 2 Door 3,146#
- Firebird Convertible 3,280#
Conclusion: Convertibles weigh about 120-220# more
This supports my theory that the Firebird did not get a convertible until 1991 because of weight. Heck in 1987 the GTA with a 350 could not get the rear shade or the subwoofer option because of weight.
