How much does my car weigh? It is a'91 Z28 has air conditioning, no power doors or locks or seats, I removed the spare tire and jack, and I weigh about 180. I need an approxamation for my G-tech pro.

your cars weight should be on the sticker on the driver door. For my firebird it says 3300 pounds. The sticker includes a full tank of gas and some passengers I think 2. I was told to subtract 400 lbs from that sticker to get the empty weight. But I'm not sure. Anyone else know?

 

the weight of my camaro if i did it right is about 3700 w/ me, 1/2 tank, stero, small tool set, spare tire, ect.. how it drivers on the street. and ran a 15.6 in warm weather, about 78*. im going to pull everything this wed.
hope the get good traction and beat my 15.2.

my 86Z with the ac out and no power options was 3280 without me in it.

The number on the door is the weight with the max load of passengers and luggage. Probably 600-900 lbs over the true weight at least.

My 89 weighed 3180 (with 1/3 tank) with the a/c removed, fiber glass hood and all aluminum except the block.

I would say your about 3400 to 3450 with minimal gas

My IROC weighs 3243 without me in it and I have about the same options as you do, however the weight jumped up about 55 lbs or so in 91. I can't remember why but I think it had something to do with the gound effects but I am not for sure I just remember reading that the empty weight of a base car was about 3310 lbs or something close to that. It was barely over 3300lbs. The cars loaded up with options weigh about 3400 to 3450. My friends 90 GTA weighs about 3500 lbs!!! but he has EVERY option.

Find a government weigh station near one of your major highways and weight it. Most of the Government weigh stations where I live are not manned after a certain time at night.

And if it is manned, but no trucks waiting, just ask the attendant. Most have no problem with doing that (provided there are not any trucks waiting) and I have never been charged.

FWIW, my car weighs 3,410 lbs., no driver, minimal fuel. A full tank weighs around 100 lbs.

 

heh- my car's gvw is 4200 lbs or something stupidly ridiculas liek that, with a full tank my t top car wieghts in at about 3600.....power windows, a/c, no power locks, but a power drivers seat.....

As a comparison, my race car when it still had the 383 in it, with me going down the track, weighed 3045. I'm not sure what the original weight was when I bought the car but it was loaded and I stripped just about everything out of it.

Going to a big block is going to add 100-200 more pounds but I might be able to shave off some more weight with some lighter parts such as a small starter and aluminum water pump. What I need now is fiberglass fenders and lexan windows.
