I wish I had weighed my  (Zero-option) 87 TC before the engine /trans came out and the 460/c-6 went in.

I know for a fact that with the 460/ C-6 and iron head/iron water pump/iron exhaust manifolds and with stock T/C wheels, it now weighs 3400 lbs with a 1/2 tank fuel. (w/o driver)...FWIW

coolcats has cougar wights on the site. Didn't realize the 86's were the heaviest. I would imagine the weights for the birds are similar if not the same. I'm sure the 87-88' Turbo coupes are bit different though.

83'            3099 lbs.
84'-GS, LS -3065 lbs. XR7 - 3,053 lbs.
85'-GS, LS - 3084 lbs. XR7 - 3100 lbs.
86'-      LS - 3237 lbs. XR7 - 3485 lb.
87'-      LS - 3133 lbs. XR7 - 3379 lb.
88'-GS, LS -3083 lbs. XR7 - 3169 lbs

Wish I was home now then!  I coulda sworn the weight was listed on the window-sticker somewhere.... I think mine's in the realm of the 3400 lb range, maybe slightly less.

Whoops, I take it back . . it's not on the sticker.  Though I coulda sworn that one of my cars had the weight listed - maybe on some other dealer-issued sheet or something.

How the eff did the XR-7 gain almost 400lbs between '85 and '86, lose over 100lbs the next year, and then another 200lbs for '88?

And how did an 86 XR-7 weigh more than an 87-88 TC? There just isnt as much car there.

I think those weights are either as tested with dummies and whatever else in the vehicle or typical loaded weights. I looked through the big list of vehicles on there and they just dont weigh that much empty.
