Default factory weight

This will carry over from gregrobs posts, so his thread can stay on topic. Whatever the cars weight was at the line is all that matters. Whatever the factory weight was at time of production is full weight. If you take out the ac, heater, k-member and then add a roll bar and sub frame connectors, it doesn't matter. As long as it tips the scale at the same weight, its full weight. If it goes other then its over weight. I can't understand why some people are trying so hard to discredit people and belittle their achievements.

This is getting old and provides nothing valuable to the site. Maybe delete the post?

The only reason I did this is to keep idiots out of good threads. Let them bicker and bitch in here. You don't have kids do ya? You have to distract them to keep them out of trouble

Who cares...it weighs what it weighs. If somebody is lighter, great for them, somebody else has a heavy *** car with A/C, convertible, whatever does not make them a "better" car because they both can run the same number...so what the lighter car does it with less HP. There is nothing wrong with weight reduction...that's hot-rodding 101. It's splitting hairs.

We talking "curb weights" (no fluids, no gas, parts only)? I have an old spec stuck in my head for years from the 93-95 L32 PONTIAC cars (3.4l V6 cars): 3419 lbs. Also recall reading that the CHEVROLET LT1 optioned cars from 1995 were 3390 lbs. GM has specs published somewhere. You may even find such specs in the dealer brochures or manuals.

my car has some weight reduction but with the dead hookers in the boot its "full weight" -except for when I hit the track and fill my tires up with helium and load the interior up with helium balloons
and I've got that trick trade marked so if you choose to use it you owe me $20 a pass!

I had my car on the scale a few weeks ago and it weighed in at a portly 3,520 lbs.

So if I raise my front tire pressure to 40 pounds but lower the rears to 15 pounds, is it still full weight!?!?!??! Guys I need to know, srsly.
