Default Help me figure out my Camaros weight.

99 Camaro SS
Full interior

Weight saving:
AC compoments removed, cruise controll module removed, UMI K-member, A-arms.

Extra weight:
TH400 trans, 12 bolt, hotchkiss subframes, Be-cool radiator, Procharger kit with front mount intercooler, ETP heads(have heard they weigh alot more than stock castings) Spohn Drag bar, spohn torque arm

What do you guys estimate my weight at? I was having an argument about this with a know it all Mustang driver. He claims My car with me in it weights 3500lbs at most, and I am 185lbs.

Well yea, a scale would be the best choice..but it has started snowing...the Camaro is probably going to be in the garage until spring time. I was just hoping that one of the more experienced f-body guys would be able to take an educated guess.

Read the stickies on weight reduction and add them up then subtract them from the stock weight.

Here is my take on this. When my car had the A/C but no back seats it was 3750 with me in it but I am 260#. My weight add ons are a 12 bolt and KBDD sub frames. I am running 17x9 and 17x11 wheels.

I just now took out my A/C so I should be close to 3700# street weight. I do have a set of Pro Stars for the track.
