Default Lightest stock F-body ever?

So I was at the track this week and the scales were empty so I decided to weigh my car.

I'm guessing it was broken because I was expecting a lot more. The light aftermarket lightweight piece on my car is the VFN Sunoco hood....oh and I only had about an 1/8th tank of gas...but it was 3250...with me in it, and I weigh 150...so....3100lbs? The scale must be wrong.

Ya thats Corvette territory, I think the scale was off a bit. Most Camaros with drivers weigh in anywhere from 3400 to 3600 lbs loaded.

my car was 3600 with me (220 at the time) and 1/3 tank of gas. Nothing lightened. This was on the HRP scales so I have a pretty good confidence the weight is correct.

I went to Memphis Motorsports Park and weighed in...it was Midnight Madness during the Comp Cams Pump Gas Drags... I'd like to think they had the scale set correctly for that type of event...but ya never know.

Same as mine (car and weight) with a half tank.
Actually mine weighed in at 3310 on E Town's scales, but I have SLP bolt on subframe connectors that have been welded in place.
