Default Car Weight

Hey guys, I was installing my gtech pro, and you have to input the weight of the vehicle. I looked at the weight on the door of my 2002 ws6 TA and the weight was 4296 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I thought the f bodies way alot less (around 3500). Even if you subtract 3 persons weighing 180 lbs, the car weight is still 3750.

WHat is the typical weight for a trans am ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

A stripper? around 3350.
A loaded luxo cruiser? They can get up around 3650 or so. Some folks claim even heavier!

Are their any 18 wheeler truck weigh stations around ya? (just a thought)

Good luck.

the weight on your door IS NOT the true weight of your car. they figure that number with the car being fully weighted..full take of gas carrying 4 people. If u want to know the true weight go to a weight station or your local racetrack (some tracks have scales, some don't).

My Z28 weighed 3550 with me in it and half a tank of gas and the jack and spare in it still. Only thing gone was the back seat. I weigh 150. I have power doors, windows, drivers seat.

Check out the weights in my sig. The 98 is a loaded hardtop car and an A4, the 2002 is a stripper M6 hardtop. Both weights include 180lbs of my *** and a 1/4 tank of gas on the same scales in the same day.
