Re: weight?
you want the curb weight,GVW is gross vehicle weight-weight of
vehicle+maximum rated passenger and cargo load.
3rd gen v8s with usuall options usually have a curb weight
around 3400-3600LBS,really heavy ones might get up around
3800.Do not trust the weight given on the registration at all
-that is often taken off a list at the DMV and may be base model
weight.Best way to get accurate weight (to use a G-tech,ETC)
is to weigh the car at a truck stop or other place with a scale.
