also check on the corvette forum, you will get the same results. The curb weight of a stock C5Z is 3115, that is with a full tank of gas in it. So you figure around 6 pounds per gallon of fuel less 10 gallons and there are your numbers.
As for the exhaust, I didn't say catback. Change out the heavy exhaust manifolds and catted h-pipe and you will save at least 50 pounds with a nice set of longtubes and noncatted x-pipe.

I have researched how much a gallon of gas weighs. It really depends on the tempature/type of the gas itself. Some say 6 pounds per gallon all the way up to what you are saying. I figured to go with the lower number, which either way makes my point.

good video... too bad you put a pullied cobra on there and not a whipple or kb... Here we go again.... I have had all the cars you wanna sit here and tell me about hahaha 3700lbs you were fairly close ... i guess.... mine was 3560 so about 200 to 250 lbs over a mach1... Why do you need to stoop down to the name calling and just straight foward bashing?? I think you want some of my c6z too hahaha
I'm curious as to where you pulled 90 pounds out of the car since the curb weight for a coupe is 3650. And yeah, go ahead and bring your C6Z and I'll drag your dumb *** all the way down the 1/4 and the highway too.
You're ******* retarded dude. Ponygt has forgotten more about Mustangs and street racing then you will ever know....and so does most of the people in this thread. twice now you've been wrong on the ******* curb weight of a car that only takes 30 seconds to google....maybe you're just dyslexic? I'm just gonna go with full retard.

I'm not surprised by that to be honest with you based on your posts in
this thread. There doesn't see to be much that you are right about.
history. Same with Dan. Actually, he's been here for about 3 years more than
you have. We call BS when something is BS. You're way off the mark here and
you're looking foolish because of it.
you truly think Dan's thread is a "wild claim".
I said to "please" knock it off. You obviously didn't get my point.
I'm going to do a few of you guys a favor and lock this thread.
Sorry Dan. I guess you'll have to get some video next time for the haters
here. It's unfortunate that 'Tech is coming to this.
