Default Can anyone tell me how much my car weighs?

My car is a 98 Z28 its fully optioned out with the exepcion of leather and rear window defogger. The reason I ask is because I am filling out the "pickining a converter" form on fuddles web site and it asks for weight.

Estimates are fine and good, but the absolute most effective way to tell is to get the car weighed. I'd definitely do that before ordering a built-to-spec convertor.

I wish I could way my car but we don't really have scales where I live. The next best I can do is go to the dump(or land fill) They weigh your vehicle before and after you dump your trash. I think 3,450 is a good estimate, because I was thinking it weighed 3,500. I guess I'll head out to the dump tomarrow and see what they tell me.

Remember that you need the weight with you in the car. That's the weight that the converter will have to deal with.
Our 98 SS weighs 3380 and the 00 Formy weighed 3400. Both stock with noone in the car.
