how much does my car actually weigh?

[2000GTP]

ive found a bunch of different numbers when looking up the weight of my car, its a 2000 GTP 4 door, does anyone know the weight?!?!

 

[Street Wolf]

3396 lbs

 

[2000GTP]

wow sick.. it actually weighs alot less than i thought.

3396 lbs

I think that's dry wieght...... How much do fluids add? Couple hundred pounds????? I thought it was somewhere around 3700...:th_scratchhead:

Also, IIRC there's only about 100# difference between the 2dr and 4 dr.

 

[Street Wolf]

Where would a couple hundred pounds of fluid go?


But yeah, there is a difference between 2 door and 4 door weight.

Where would a couple hundred pounds of fluid go?

That's what I've always wondered, but it always seems like dry wieght and wet wieght seems to vary by a couple hundred.

Edmunds.com shows curb wieght as......

2000 GTP Sedan 3414lbs
2000 GTP Coupe 3396lbs

Wet and dry difference also includes gas, which is about 102lbs for a full 17 gallon tank.

the amount of coolant, over 2 gallons of tranny fluid, power steering, oil, etc...... it all adds up....

If you want to know your car specifically, try this. If you live around farmland go to the nearest grain elevators...FS or whatever and they have a roll on scale for the grain trucks. When they aren't busy most will let you roll on and weigh. Or you could go to a truck stop. Most have scales and they cost under $10.
That way you'll know your cars weight with or without you in it and all the fluids and whatever else is in it like a sub box.
