1994 Trans Am Weight
1994 Trans Am Weight I stopped by a construction company that has a scale today to weigh my car. It weighed 3500lbs, I was expecting at least 3650lbs based on some R&T articles I have. They said the scale was accurate within 20lbs and I'm pretty sure it's certified. What are the weights you guys are seeing for your LT1 f-bodies?
The only weight reduction is no AC compressor or condensor. Heavier S60 rear. The car is a base '94 Trans Am (Y82) hardtop, M6 with manual cloth seats and power windows. Had 3/4 tank of gas.

My 95 TA was just under 3600. OEM WS6 hood + ground effects, T-tops, auto, leather, power everything car. Had lighter 6LE manual seats, but a amp+sub as well which probably evened it out.
Hard to believe my hardtop 93 Z is almost 300lbs lighter on the same scale with only minor weight reduction (AC delete, AIR pump+EGR delete, no rear seats, fiberglass cowl hood, then whatever difference the tubular suspension makes). Still want to get another 100#s out of it before the cage.
Seems like it shouldn't have been that much difference.

I drove onto a scale at a fruit warehouse and got 3580 with me out. Car is a hard top with spare tire, 10" sub, 12 bolt, optima red top, full tank. Also have fiberglass hood, aluminum drive shaft and flywheel, tubular suspension including k-member, sub frames, and some other stuff. I guess it all evened out.

Years ago mine was 3425 on the scale at Rockingham Dragway without me in it and about 1/4 tank of gas. Stock 16" wheels, a few minor bolt-ons and removed spare tire and jack. No other weight reduction though.
