curb weight

[irondiezl3]

my vin lookup says my car weights over 4000 pounds? wtf is that? i thought we had same frame and similar weight to gagts? they have 3300 curb weight thats a huge difference!

[[ion] C2]

it weighs 2985 ish somewhere around there

of course depends on what it's equipped with

[CactusWill]

Look on your title. Mine says 2927 lbs, thats with a 4 cyl. With a V6 model, you'll be 1-2 hundred lbs more.

[irondiezl3]

title says 3016. that sounds better phewww whatever that crap the dealer pulled up was way off!!

Curb weight.

Weight of the vechile with a full tank of gas, every seat filled, and a trunk full of cargo.

Mine tipped the scales at 3340 and Jackels at 3327 when we raced ;)

What? No it isn't, lol.

Curb weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (e.g. motor oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers or cargo.

sounds more like it.....

whats a spare tire setup drop when taken out around 20 pounds?

[Vinalero]

Spare and jack, you are looking around 40 pounds

What do they say, you gain something like 1 hp per pound you shed off the vehicle? Something like that...

Vehicle curb weight has nothing to do with horsepower. :lol:

For every 100lbs you shed from your vehicle, you lose 1/10 of a second in a drag race.

[NickAlero2000]

Example. your car + you weighs 3100lbs. You run 13.5. You remove your spare tire and backseats, dropping 100lbs from your vehicle. You then run 13.4, theoretically.

[Beholder88]

I think that's what I meant. I know I've seen time studies somewhere on that.

If only it worked like that :p

Nick is more right, but the gains are not constant if you keep removing weight, at one point the wind resistance catches you.

and I wish the back seats were 60 pounds...they are so light, that taking them out would have hardly any effect on the drag strip. (maybe .01 faster, at the most.)

Spare and jack = 50 lbs.

This is going to be the first year I'm NOT dumping the spare/jack or switching the intake to race, at least in the points, I'll still do it for the sport compact days

I dropped the spare and jack in the Delta when it still had the 307 and it went from 20.20 to 19.98 :lol:

Althought I just found out a few weeks ago that that motor was probably really out of tune because a 98 with a stock 307 motor ran 18.90 and that car weighs about 200 lbs more :eek:

Damn, you might need a full cage soon...:p
