Your normal GTO with no weight reduction will tip the scales at around 3800-4000 lbs.
With a full weight reduction, your looking at 3400-3500 range.

But it's probably the most comfortable-to-drive 3800lb sports coupe out there!

I dont recall how much gas I had when I first weighed it stock... 3760.

I weighed it last week after some simple weight reduction with like 1 gallon of gas, 3520.

Floor mats, strut tower brace, spare tire and accessories, trunk carpeting, spoiler, hood insulation, weather strip at back engine compartment where hood shuts, fog lights, grill inserts, that's all the other easy ones I can think of.

My auto weighed 3820 with everything down to the spare on it. Manuals weigh less. I'd like to know where you found a stock GTO that weighed in at almost 4000lbs.

They are supposed to weigh 3720.

My GTO bone stock with me in it and a full tank weighed 4215. I weigh about 230 so mine is right at almost 4000lbs.
