i cant guarantee it would be like this all the time but my automatic, full weight Z28 with 1/4 tank of gas weighed 3400 pounds without driver....On the same scale, with the same amount of gas my friend's six speed, 2002 WS6 Trans Am weighed 3420.....any differences in weight should be pretty negligible....

I believe reading in a post a while back that the TA runs approx 40-50 pounds more mainly just because of her pronounced child-bearing hips.

Hey, her hips are just fine. LOL. Plus on the t/a the pronounced rear wing is supposed to add a few, so I've heard. Should run a 150 or so over. Nothing a few !weight mods wouldn't make up for.

thanks 02PHOENIX yeah the sig pic is an old one but thouse sitckers are on the front fenders behind the wheels i thought they were appropriate and look bad ***.. every onece in a while i get a stuffed sute busness person pull up next to you look at them and you see them mouth 'deceptacons' and they look up at me and give me the thumbs up ..

soldier6552 god you are so right about the hips.. i was .... um.... visiting my girlfiend this weekend and as i stared down at her back i did notice how it looked alot like the top view of the bird .. not just the hips but how the crease on the hood that blends into the fenders look like sholderblades. and also how the car narrows in the middle like sides... i almost started laughing...
wate now if she askes me if i think of other girls when we ........ would it be lying if i say no? ahh well eather way i love the hips more to hold on to... um... both of em

My 98 T/A (t-tops/a4) now weighs 3360 with the spare/jack and AIR and EGR systems removed.
Weighed 3401 before that bone stock.

Both times around 1/2 tank of gas.
