Is a GTA really 4200lbs???

I checked My door sticker and it says that my car is 4200lbs, now thats fine with me but what is the weight of an L98 IROC of same year and does anyone have stock 0-60Mph and 1/4 mile times for an 89 GTA.

Any help is appreciated.

------------------
89 GTA 350 - stock all the way. But came with goodies, 3.27, dual cats, alum shaft. Mods and Website coming soon!!!

That sticker on the door is not the actuall weight of the vehicle. I think it might be the GVW? A GTA will probably weigh in at 3300-3500 lbs.

------------------
L98, 3.27 9-bolt, Hooker shorty headers, custom 2.5inch Y-pipe, no cat, 3inch 2chamber flowmaster, JET AFPR, Ported MAF, Best ET: 13.86 @100mph. 1.99 60'
17 inch ROH "ZS" wheels. 17x8.5(front) and 17x9.5 (rear). Firestone Firehawk SZ50s. 245/45/zr17s and 275/40/zr17s. T56

On the way... Radar Blue 89 Formula, T56, Ram Jet 430, Ram Air, 17inch ROHs.

This should be a FAQ...

That is the GVW, not the vehicle weight. Your car weighs somewhere around 3400-3600, depending on options.
