Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #1 – May 09, 2008, 01:49:00 AM Not bad for an 88. From what I understand, they usually come in about 100lb heavier. Quote Selected
Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #2 – May 09, 2008, 02:39:54 AM I weighed my 87 Sport before I had done anything to it other then 16" Enkei mesh wheels. Half tank of gas 3330lbs. Not sure if it included me though. If so, I weighed about 200 then.Even without me in it, that's not bad.I hope next one will finish a little lighter. Quote Selected
Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #3 – May 09, 2008, 12:03:56 PM Same here. That was also with a 45LB sub box in the trunk along with assorted tools. So its on the low 3200's I'd guess without all the . Quote Selected

Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #5 – May 09, 2008, 03:18:46 PM Truck Scale, Calibrated correctly. It had my actual weight down within 3 lbs, so it was pretty accurate. Quote Selected
Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #6 – May 09, 2008, 07:00:38 PM I used a truck scale at a propane company. They were supposed to be accurate as that is how they tracked their trucks.I was never sure if the lady weighed while I was in the car though, as I pulled up and waved while my buddy went in and asked her to weigh it. She did something and then waved me in and handed me the receipt. So did she weigh while I was sitting there, or while I was walking inside the office.I would have had the small spare and jack in the car. No other tools or non-stock radio stuff.You know, these weights really put into perspective the newer cars coming out. T-birds were decent-sized cars, yet weighed 3200-ish pounds. My 66 Mustang weighs about 2800. New Mustangs, etc are close to 4000. And then everyone complains about fuel economy.....You would think, with the newer technology, that cars would weigh 2500 pounds or less in this modern era..... Quote Selected
Weighed the TC tonight... Reply #7 – May 09, 2008, 07:16:23 PM There were a few of us that decided to weigh our cars last nightThe New GT that was with us weighed in at 3480 with a 1/4 tank and no spare. it was the heaviest car there by far. The orange Roush only weighed 3160 The 350Z Weighed 3320The Evo weighed 3180 LOL My 88 TC weighs less than a 350Z LOL I thought that was funny. Quote Selected
