Default GVWR for a 2000 T/A

Looking at the inside of my door I see a sticker that says the GVWR is over 4200 lbs. GVWR stands for gross vehicle weight rating, right? I'm seeing a lot of posts on this board that are showing users with 3600 lbs weights on stock f-bodies not sure why mine is 600lbs more or am I confused with something?

I guess my question is, "Is my car fat?"

4200 isnt your actual vehicle weight, it usually 600-700 less than that number, not sure of the exact number !

4200 LBS is the number of pounds the car and cargo[people] should really not exceed.car is about 3600, so you can safely cram in 600 or so pounds.
