70-71 Chevelle vs 92 RS Camaro (Weight?)

Does anyone know the weight on these two cars?

I would guess but I don't want to look like a fool!

Chevelle around 3,650lbs., Camaro around 3,400lbs. Just estimations though, not exact, but they're heavier.

Yup, but remember both can vary by a lot.

My buddy got his fully optioned t top 91 RS weighed with him in it and it came right at 3,400lbs. Not bad. If his tank was empty and it was a low option car with him out of it it could easily be 3200lbs. 3rd gens aren't that heavy. 4th gens are though.
