Default weight for every f-body???

how much does a trans am weigh as compared to a trans am ws6?? much more?? or a ws6 compared to a ss camaro? cause my buddy is telling me that his ss weighs like 200 less than mine (i have a 98 t/a ws6). also does having a m6 vs an a4 make any difference in weight. cause mine is an m6 and his is an a4. really want to know this. also does the year of your car matter?? his is a 01 ss camaro i guess i will take out my back seats this time i go to the track, my car weighs so much. feedback PLEASE!

I can't help you with specific weights, but generally the T/A will be the heaviest.

This will vary depending on how individual cars are optioned, but all things being equal, the T/A is the heaviest by a few pounds.

id say about 100 pounds maybe.. more or less..

now a basic stripped Z or formula are the lightest you can get. Power nothing.. windows have to be rolled up also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
