My car, basically stock weighed 36xx lbs with me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas.

This was with full leather interior, t-tops, spare tire, jack, heavy *** mufflex 4" catback, and I think it had a powerdyne SC at that time.

It doesn't really matter what you start with. The only things that really make a difference is the top set up. Convertibles weight more than T-tops that weigh more than solid roofed cars. The more options you have in the car the more stuff you can take out. You'll reach the same point in taking them apart no matter what car you start with.
