hey this is random but its bothering the **** outa me. Ok a lot of ppl were telling me that 86 montes weighed less than 86 camaros. I just cant see how that big boat can weigh less than my camaro. Does ne one knoe if my friends r right?

 

According to http://www.darklair.com/monte/production.html

the v8 monte is 3244

What does your car weigh?

 

idk. hwo u get that site?

 

IIRC the V8 Camaro is ~3400lbs

 

What options on each car?

That Monte Carlo site says lists Curb Weight, but is that a stripped down Monte or one with A/C, power windows.... etc?

I'd say option-to-option they're both pretty close to each other.

 

but still i dont understand why montes weigh less at all they r like big boats

 

yeah i hate montes.... i have a bunch of friends that argue with me that montes look more sporty then a camaro

 

lmao ur firends r crack heads just like mine......how does a box rear end and copy of our front make them more sporty?

 

My 1985 SS with a TH350 and 9" rear and aluminum wheels weighed in at 3380lbs (before the cage) - fully loaded all options except T-tops - the 9" is heavier than the stock 7.5" also. That's lighter than my IROC that doesn't have power windows. I believe the weight difference has something to do with the full unibody construction of the IROC (the SS has a full frame) and the rear hatch glass (glass weighs a lot more than sheet metal).

 

I love Camaro's, but Monte's have some kinda rough and powerful look....hard to describe. I'm picking up a new daily driver in the end of jan. another third gen or Monte if I can find a good price.
