Re: Just weighed my Formy...
3280 exactly? I have a feeling my camaro will weigh more than my dodge charger if I weigh it...my dodge weighed a little over 3300 last time I weighed it.

Dang Joey this ain't price is right
Pretty sure Formulas were still 3300-3400 range factory weight.
What weight reduction, or add-ons have you done Bully?
I know Marc has done tons of weight loss, but 600lbs worth? That would be impressive.

Re: Just weighed my Formy...
I've seen it done. But usually that is a completely stripped car with no carpets...etc.

Re: Just weighed my Formy...
My Camaro weighed 3420 with me in it and 3/4 of a tank last summer and I weighed 210 at the time. I have put it on a diet over the winter so I will re weigh it this summer.

I think 2800 + me + 2, 15lb bottles, instead of 1,10lb bottle.

Re: Just weighed my Formy...
For weight reduction I have no spare tire or jack, aluminum heads, ac delete, and that's it... But then I have added strut bars, sfc's, and heavy leather 4th gen seats...

Re: Just weighed my Formy...
If you had a true stripper formula yes. But formulas could be as loaded as a gta. Most were I bet.

Re: Just weighed my Formy...
There is variance from year to year, but I'd refer to #'s posted from 3rdgenformula.com to get a good base.
Here's some examples from their listed production numbers.
1990:
Formula 3,338
GTA 3,554
1989:
Formula 3,318
GTA 3,486
1988:
Formula 3,296
GTA 3,406
The GTA is always going to be the heaviest fully loaded. The Formula usually has at least a 100-150lb advantage it seems.
