About 3600 to 3650, depending on the car. The amount of seam sealer used, gas in the tank, etc will vary it by about 50 lbs.
I know my car with full headers, y and lm1, 12 bolt, frame connectors and my 250 lbs in it was 3710 way back when. That was fully equipped, everything still in the car

Im going to try to get mine on a scale soon, I just cant cut up my car. I love AC, I love my nice seats..I take too much pride in how nice my car is to cut it up. It is tempting but I just keep adding more power insted.

I think from the factory the lightest is around 3,330 (the camaros w/ no options) while most are 3,400 to 3,500. The WS6s and Camaro SS being the heaviest. I think mine was around 3,425 w/ very little gas, 6 spd, no t-tops) Mines mostly stock from the weight perspective. I added suspension parts, heavier trans parts, 12 bolt, removed spare, jack, front sway bar, some smog equipment, headers instead of cast iron manifolds). Mine is now just under 3,400 w/ the stock wheels. I usually weight 260-265 lbs.
Kind of funny, I was at the track where there was a 5th generation camaro guy (supercharged w/ racing wheels/tires) that was saying his son's car was 4,400 lbs while mine was only 3,000 lbs. Kinda had to laugh.

Im aiming for -2700 but its a racecar. Ive cut out the trunk wells, mini tubed it, pin on hood, chopped the cowl, cut out all the junk brackets that arent needed, running no interior other than a guttet stock dash and a kirkey seat. My next step is to cut the radiator support out and rebuild it from chromoly and will eventually get speedglass front and rear.

I have a camaro ss ht...hope you guys include me since it is a f-body. It weighed 3430 stock. It now weighs 3000 w/o me and still has all options/creature comforts, all interior but with a pair of carbon NRG seats on sliders and all but 10lbs of the sound deadener. I keep fooling with it I might be able to get it to 2950.....it still has the windsheild washer stuff to.

We showed up at LS fest last year 3680 fully loaded in 8.5 outlaw.
That was 240lb driver, 100% stock front suspension, TH400, Iron block, etc.....We'll see where we are next year....
That's was ridiculous weight. But, if we went 5.8's with that setup on a Mack Truck turbo and no 2nd gear, I'm pretty happy with it... Wonder what it'll do with a purpose built turbo and maybe a pound here or there off it this winter?.....
