Default What do you figure my car weighs?

YES, I'VE SEARCHED. No, my question wasn't answered because I have variables that change the answer.


I got a GTech Competition Pro (for logging vehicle data) and it would be really helpful to know how much my car weighs. Unfortunately, there's not a place around here where I could get it weighed...

I was wondering if I could get some guess-timates on what you think my car weighs. Here are the important specs:

2000 Camaro Z28
Full tank of gas
165 lbs. driver
Procharger P-1SC kit

Any ideas on what this whole setup weighs?

Those aren't all of the important specs.

Any weight reduction done? Headers? Take EGR and AIR out? Spare tire?

What options does your car have? Power seats? Cruise Control? Power windows/locks? T-Tops?

If it is not a stripper, I would say.. 3683lbs as a guess with you in it.

No weight reduction. Everything except for listed mods is stock. EGR and AIR still there, as well as spare tire.

Power driver seat, cruise control, power windows and locks, T-Tops.

My stripper weighed 3420 with the LM catback. Includes spare, laptop, cell phone, owners manual.
This was on a truck scale, dunno how accurate they are.
Haven't weighed it with the headers, gotta be a lot less.

Looks like you have all options, so it probably weighs around what I said. Well since you have put a supercharger on it and haven't taken anything out, it probably weighs a little more. So, little over 3700lbs would be my guess now.

Don't you have anywhere locally that weighs big trucks? Or somewhere that sells scrap metal? They usually have big scales that can weigh your car.

I'm lucky, I can drive 5 miles to the state Farmer's Market and get a certified weight for 5 bucks. That's where I got my weight in my sig.
