Re: whats my weight?! i cant figure it out!
There is no way to specifically know YOUR cars weight without weighing it. Too many options to add/subtract plus the age means there is no telling what it still stock or changed.

Go to a scales and weigh the thing. Recycling centers and land-fills have scales, also grain elevators and some salvage yards.

Yep this is akin to 'how much lift can I run', 'what dimensions for my sub box' etc etc. Gonna have to measure your specific vehicle.

Re: whats my weight?! i cant figure it out!
This. 3100 lbs should be close for a v6 car but it will depend a lot on your transmission, options, wheels, mods, spoiler/louvers, junk in your car, amount of gas and fluids, etc. Call around, any landfill should have a scale and as long as you don't go when they're busy they shouldn't mind.

Re: whats my weight?! i cant figure it out!
3100-3600 is the ballpark numbers for third gens. As mentioned above, too many options available for the cars which can really change the weight. The only way to know the true weight is to put it on a scale.

Go to any weigh station along any highway and, check it out. They usually will weigh you up without any problems.

Re: whats my weight?! i cant figure it out!
I put my 84 Berlinetta on a truck scale a few years back - 3600 pounds. The car was not stock, (355ci, T-Tops, No Smog/AC, Glass hood, EVERY option + several extras ! ) but most Berlinettas are fully loaded with options so that should be 'close' to your wieght.
P.S. My 95 Z28 ( mostly stock at the time ) was 3700.
