Default weighed my car tonight

well i finally got my car weighed tonight

it came out at 3500 lbs on the nose with a full tank of gas crap in the back seat spare tire/jack present, the works
*without me in it add 160 lbs

i even experimented with pulling the front of the car on the scales and the rear wheels on the scale and the wieght distribution came out at 56.5% front and 43.5% rear weight

so i figure with a 1/4 tank of gas spare tire and jack out passenger seat delete and all other worthless crap i should be around 3400 without me in it

is that about average for a full option f-body without leather seats and without t-tops?

That's a pretty good weight. The Hardtop's are a little less than the T-Tops.

I was at 3150 with out me and I am at 200 pounds. That was with no hood and no carpet/interior trim/back seats since then I have put that back in so I figure 3500 pound race weight now. This is with a 95 6speed formula with no options.

i was talking without me in the car, i was saying without me in the car it weighs 3500 lbs and with less fuel no passenger seat, no spare tire or jack and with a few odds and ends out of the back seat i should be around 3400 lbs WITHOUT me in it, with me in it, would make the car weigh around 3560 which doesn't sound too bad with a close to full optioned f-body
