Is it suppose to be this heavy? My roommates 04 Cobra- with heavy live rear axle swap, came in at 3,540lbs.

i weighed my 99 ss when i got out of the military. Mostly stock 6 speed ss coupe 3420 lbs.

Are you sure the live axle swap was "heavy"? Most live axles are lighter than the whole IRS systems on cars. 04 slobras were around 3600+lbs stock.
Also your number seems around right, Ive seen anywhere from 3300lbs to 3500lbs. Were you full tank of gas? Any mods?

I've attached my sig for mods. I did also add a panhard bar.

That was with half a tank of gas. I do have katskin custom leather seats. I dunno, maybe they added weight.

Yeah, I could understand my car being 30lbs. heavier, but 100 lbs.

I agree with JD_AMG. It doesn't seem that far off to me. A stock example with nothing removed is usually around 3400-3500 depending on options and variables such as gas in the tank. The '98-'99 exhaust manifolds are a bit lighter than the '00+ cast iron pieces, so you might not have lost much weight with the headers. And the SFCs and STB add weight, as well as aftermarket leather (vs. cloth.) If you have T-tops that will also make the car a bit heavier. 1/2 tank of gas is more than what is used for published "curb weight" as I recall, so that's another factor. If you removed the SFCs, STB and got down to about a 1/4 tank of gas, it would probably weight about ~3450 or maybe less, which would be exactly normal, again, depending on options.

I weighed mine on a CAT Scale last year just before doing some minor weight reduction for track season and with full interior, and 1/4 tank of gas... it was exactly 3400 lbs with some heavy aftermarket wheels and minus the spare tire. But I do have quite a few suspension upgrades and a few other things done that are lighter than stock.

Like RPM was saying depending on the options your car came with and the fact you weighed it with half a tank of gas (gas is like 6 lbs per gallon)... if you would have weighed it with even a 1/4 tank gas you would have been at 34xx lbs.

Do you have stock wheels or aftermarket. The base stock wheels are lighter than aftermarket wheels. Subframe connectors, lower control arms, and strut tower brace added weight to your car.

I have the optional ZR1 wheels (from the 1993 Z06). They were an option in 1998 & 1999.

I have no idea what a 1993 Z06 is, but the "ZR1" style wheels on the '98-'99 SS weren't an option - that was the standard and only wheel for SS in those years. The standard finish was silver painted with a polished lip, a chrome finish was optional. This wheel continued to be an option, in chrome only, for 2000-02 SS but the base wheel in those years changed to a 10-spoke.

This 17x9", 274/40 wheel/tire package is a bit heavier than the base 16x8", 245/50 wheel/tire package on a Z28.

Where did I say 1993 Z06???? I said ZR1. I also know my wheels were an option, as I have the original paperwork. I've attached an image of the original original camaro ss rims, and the optional zr1 rims. The optional ones I have are in the same black color, and are 315 35 17's in back. I had to cut the bump stops, as they were rubbing. I believe they are heavier than the regular ss rims.

I see where I said z06 and zr1, face palm.

C4 ZR1 style wheels were not really an "option" for 1999 Camaro SS, they were the standard and only wheel as part of the base SS package (in a silver painted finish with a polished lip.) A chrome finish (which adds marginal weight) was optional from SLP, but the wheel is otherwise the same. There was no other wheel design available for Camaro SS in that year. They are all 17x9, 50mm offset and came with 275/40/17 tires.

At no time was black an option (from GM or SLP) for this wheel on Camaro SS. This wheel only appeared in black from the factory on a C4 Grand Sport.

Also, the 17x11" version with a 315/35 tire was never a factory or SLP option on Camaro SS, in any color or finish.

All of this must be considered when comparing your weight to factory published curb weights or comparison with other vehicles. If you have chrome 17x11s out back with 315/35 tires, that's definitely adding weight over the stock silver painted 17x9, 275/40 setup. You won't find any factory published weight specs for a Camaro SS optioned with those exact wheels because this was never a factory or SLP option.
