how much does your ride weigh

take the total GVWR of your car and subtract 900 lbs (thats 180 lbs for each 5 seat belt/passenger and driver). subtract 8 lbs for each gallon of gas that you estimate is missing from the tank. also subtract any weight you may have removed.
 
add back in your weight and any weight you added too the car like a system/subs v8 conversion....etc
 
you should be close enough too estimate the weight of your car. for some reason though alot of them come out of the factory with different gvwr stamps. mine says 4420 i think.

'83 Heritage, with V6.  3045# empty, 3225# with a driver.  This is starting line weight, no a/c, p/s, fan shroud, ect., but with a full leather interior, including p/seats and windows, AOD trans, no spare tire.  Add 125# for a SBF V8.  Fred
