Default is my car light?

well i have a 2000 ht SS.. and without me it weighs 3380. with me it jumps up to 3520. is this average weight? or is my car lighter then most?

it has the bilstein suspenion package on it.

the only weight reduction mods i have done was taking out the spart and jack.

im thinking of taking out the pass. air bags. and am contemplating whether or not i shlould take out my a/c.

it's not a bad starting point. my vert with me in it comes in at 3800 lbs.!!!!!! so you're already 300 lbs. less than me.

It sounds right for an HT. Mine started out at 3420 in full trim with the spare/jack.

Yeah, I agree! Our Z28 Hardtop weighed 3350 factory stock, and this was an nicely equipped A4 (power everything).

wow, very nice.

My TA in stock trim (T-tops) weighed in at 3550 on a full tank of gas. After some basic weight redux she weighs in at 3280 with street tires (no drag rims).
