How much does a 2002 WS6 M6 WS6 TA weight? T-top, PW and PDL. Cousin has one and swears up and down it's 4200lbs because of the sticker on the door. Tries to say it weighs close to my 1995 Caprice Classic 4 door sedan......So i need a definite answer. Thanx!

They weigh about 3400lbs with no passengers. The weight on the door is with four 200 pound people in the car.

Well that's actually what we're going to do. Don't get me wrong, i love his car, it's badass. But i'm one of the few owners in the world that has a 6-speed b-body (Impala, caprice, and i believe some roadmasters and maybe fleetwoods) and probably one of less than 20 with 4.56 gears in the rear. At the track i pulled 9.4 on a completely stock engine except for a $44 ebay intake, and replacing mufflers with magnaflows spinning through 1st. Well on a 100 shot i ran 8.814 spinning through 2nd , and his car runs a 8.841 with a catback. So we ran em on the street and i spun real bad and he planted 2nd and pulled about a car and it stayed that way. Well i've saw a few guys that have said they're completely STOCK t/a dynoed over 300, and completely stock impala's dyno at around 220, and with a 6-speed, probably 230. Well he's talking all kinds of **** about his car now, and i said "well my car out weighs urs by about 800lbs and has about 70 horsepower LESS" Well he denies the weight, but agrees that the T/A's have closer to 350hp stock. So this is getting printed out to show him. So the race will be this, Me- in my car full tank with driver, around 4300 with a 75 shot. Him-, all motor, full tank, him 160, my brother at 250, my neighbor at 220, and his g/f's brother at 230 and a 45lbs weight plate in the back. For some reason, i see this getting really ugly. If all he can pull me is a car on a 100 shot, i believe he's gonna die with an extra 800lbs and me with 25hp less.
