Most coupes weigh approx 3350 with 1/2 tank of fuel and no driver. Approx 3500 lbs with the average driver in the seat

So your saying your car weighs 3000 lbs or so (depending on your "fat ****") with only mufflers and radio removed????

My '95 six speed with no spare tire or carrier,1/2 tank of gas, me in it(about 200#) with stock wheels and tires weighed in at 3168.

My '93 automatic with no spare or carrier, no front swaybar, full tank, me in it, Weld Wheels all the way around weighed 3434.

This is based on the scale at the track.

Default Weight of C4's

The weight depends on the year. The early C4 tend to be lighter especially if they were not heavily optioned. My 84 was basically 3100 from the factory and it came with Iron heads.
