Default What does my Firehawk weigh?

I have a 2000 Firehawk, with Bilstein suspension, Auburn Diff, Chrome Firehawk 17" rims, and SLP Spoiler. And the standard Firehawk stuff. The car is an Auto. I've put on a Strut Tower Brace, Vigillante Torque converter, trans cooler, Whisper Lid, no spare tire and an NX single nozzle wet kit. Any guesses on the weight? I got a G-Tech and have no access to a car scale.

My 2002 weighs 3439 with no driver...6speed,ttop

auto would weigh more, strut brace should be under 10 lbs, vigill shouldnt weigh that more more then stock, trans cooler doesnt weigh that much or the lid, wet kid depends on how much

trans cooler, brace, and lid should weight was probably all made up taking out the spare tire and then some...


so my guesstimate would be about 3500-3600 range with no driver

OK, my T/A Coupe on the Birthcert says 3425#......w/Bilstein, AAA diff, and chromed wheels also! Just no IROC spoiler and it's an M6!

Hope that helps

Actual weight full tank gas and driver 4,060# (but 400# of it is dynamat and stereo), so figure 3,660# w/driver weight of 195#(inclusive).

SCALED Actual weight w/stereo:

Fronts: 2080
Rears: 1940 (stock should be 1550 approx)

U could very well be correct......ballpark, and should have put APPROX rather than guess, but I knew it was around that range give or take a few pounds. Funny thing is I had it out yesterday, so you'd think I'd remember!

Geez.....picky!

Correct sir....mine also says 3439, but you can't tell me every Hawk weighs the same
