Interesting...I just assumed they would be lighter than Rally II's...maybe not

04 GTO? But those are so little...weird

I don't know. I would think they would be lighter. The factory Honeycombs are stupid heavy..... But look cool![/QUOTE]

Well since it looks like anything goes - 1957 VW bug weighing in at 1450 pounds, 1600 with driver.

Back seat, passenger seat, spare tire, bumpers and running boards removed. Running Centerline 15x3.5” and 15x5” wheels.

14.36 @ 92 mph on 165/80-15 radials (135R-15 front), 1756cc VW engine - modified.

This is what a 17 year old ran around town in, terrorizing whatever muscle car owners that were dumb enough to mess with it in the summer of ‘77.

Removed floor insulation, back seat, passenger seat, heater, radio, wiper assembly, front inner fenders, front bumper braces. I weighed everything I removed and it came to about 300 pounds by just unbolting things, the tar floor insulation and carpet were 50 pounds alone. All steel body with glass windows.

3330 without driver with a half tank of gas.

PICS!

[73LeMans]

So y'all are saying I should be happy at 3775 with 200lb me in it then.

[i82much]

i'm going to build a procharged 535 wood chipper just so i can win this thread.

[Formulajones]

My sons 65 bug with 2276, 1870 lbs. with full tank of gas.

[Formulajones]

Sorry this took a while, individual pics are hard to find.

Here is the GTO with dad sitting in it. That's a full tank of gas, 571 MR1 block with aluminum heads, fiberglass hood, 4L80E and 12 bolt rear. Everything else pretty much stock restored and original to the car. Full interior, stereo system, sound deadener, Spare in trunk etc.... This is as raced. Dad weighs about 150 lbs.

Hang tight and I'll find a pic of the Chevelle on the scales. The similarity is uncanny.

What's the difference between a 74 and 75?? Aren't they basically the same?

Performance one might expect from a stock ‘68 GTO.

Okeedoke.

i82much, Your wood chipper might not make it. Several years ago I saw a Lawn tractor at Lebanon Valley Dragway with a M/T Hemi headed 421 in it. Guy used it for tractor pulling competition.

[jhein]

My 70 TA 4 spd no options was 3650 with a full tank and no driver. 3720 after my drivetrain mods.

No spare tire or jack. But I do carry some basic tools, spare ignition module and tire repair stuff that's maybe 20-25 pounds or so.

Wife's 07 Corolla weighs 2600 empty we never scaled her GN.
