What do some of you guys car weight? I have a 95 firebird with a ls1 car is full dressed but no ac, car has a 12 bolt rear, bmr trac pac torque arm, bmr subframe connectors, chrome moly K-member, chrome moly a-arms, and weld wheels. I was thinking around 32000 pounds but with a 1/4 tank of fuel and know body in it it was 3540.00 pounds does this sound right? i thought i was taking weight off i know the rear end is heavy but i wasnt expecting that.

Yeah these cars are heavy. I dunno, though, 3540 sounds like alot for your setup, with those mods. My car was 3405 without driver, a 1/4 tank, no rear seats, no jack/spare, and other than that, minimal weight reduction - chromo suspension parts, loudmouth exhaust (ie no muffler), aluminum shaft.

damn, no I don't feel as bad. I got mine in at 3600 without me in it on a 1/4 tank. No spare or jack and the the slicks/skinnies (m/t radials and 4" radials up front on bogarts)
I have a full stereo setup that isn't helping either.... where to begin
