1989 IROC LS1 /T56 weight

Howdy,
FWIW i just weighed my camaro. It's a 1989 IROC with A/C, LS1 / T56, everything is there, no lightening. I weighed it at a local producers co-op scale, with 3/4 tank of gas. 3380lbs - a little heavier than i would have hoped, but not bad.

That's without me in it. It is also fully optioned.

It is heavier than i would have thought, but i may get it weighed again at another location in the future.

Car: 1990 Firebird Formula
Engine: LT1
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3.42
My 90 Formula 305TBI with A/C and crosslace wheels weighed in at 3350 with around half a tank...

We shall see what the LT1/T56 swap and A/C delete does for that number.
I also swapped seats to leather, so I'm sure there won't be much change in weight.

My 87 with 5.7 t56 full optioned t roof car weighed 3520. I am doing an LS1 M6 swap now and will weigh it again afterwards. I suspect a couple hundred drop so 33 and change sounds about right
