Default 1984 Weight

3200 lbs + or - for the 1984. Mike Antonics Corvette Black Book on page 133 claims the 1984 weighs 3192 lbs. The 84 is a bit unique because it doesn't have a lot of added weight features like ABS, air bag, traction control and so on. Your car should weigh even less if you are going to be using aluminum heads on your 400 engine because the 84 came with iron heads. There are lots of things you can do to remove weigtht from these cars.

You can remove more than 200 lbs pretty easily. There is also so much hidden weight under the hood that can be removed.
