Guess My Weight
Who wants to take a shot? (Im just bored and curious)
88 Hardtop Camaro
350 with Aluminum heads, no A/C or Emissions assecories. Pretty much everything not needed for a carb setup has been taken out of the engine compartment. Auto tranny. 1/4 tank of gas and my skinny 130 pound ***!
Then possibly a fiberglass hood, and is gutting the doors worth anything realy?

my guess would be 3400lb'ish (with you in it). Get a set of lightweight wheels with skinnies and a glass hood and you'd lose quite a bit...

No a/c, heat, smog, complete engine harness is gone, heater and a/c ducting under the dash is gone, TPI setup is gone, just a carb, front swaybar gone, no rear seats, power steering pump gone, and 430hp, ought to run ok.

Hell with that nonsense, get the thing to leave straight and get a good ET out of it. I've got draglites rears and skinnies, but I have to run a "street" tire on the front to run in my local bracket class, so I've got DR's on my GTA's.

Your car weighs exactly what a scale says it weighs. Not one pound more, not one less.
Guessing is a waste of time and bandwidth. Go take it to a weigh station by the side of the freeway, or to the track, and find out the truth. Nothing else matters.
