Default Weight question

When I had my car dynoed this past fall I noticed that my car weighed 3750lbs. Then when I got it inspected it was listed the same weight. My car doesn't have a body kit or leather seats but has the other options. I did add 17in chrome wheels and slps hood which would make it weigh a little more. I thought that seemed a little high on weight. Do you think those totals are accurate or are they just estimates?

Forgot to mention headeres were not installed at that time either if that helps out.

My 01 Z28 M6 weighs 3,200 lbs. I ordered the car with as few options as I could get. It still had A/C and a AM/FM CD. I took the A/C out and the spare. Also have headers into true duals which removed some weight. I did not weigh it before these mods.

My '98 1LE shows 3331 pounds as the the weight on the factory build sheet. I don't know how much gas, if any, was in the tank at the factory but I think that it had all the other fluids filled up when it was weighed.
