96 LT4 weight
I finally got the car weighed today a the moving and storage company. The car weighs 3300 lbs with just a little over a half tank of gas and with me not in it. They have a certified truck scale that is calibrated each month. At the drag strip, who knows if theirs is ever calibrated.
Previous car - 98 T/A
3460 lbs
324.2 HP and 334.8 ft/lbs TQ at the rear wheels
best 1/4 - 13.262 @ 106.85 MPH (2.112 60') @ 69 degrees temp
Current car - 96 Vette
3300 lbs
297.3 HP and 305.6 ft/lbs TQ at the rear wheels
best 1/4 - 13.060 @ 106.48 mph (1.942 60') @ 73 degrees
That is a 160 lbs difference. Not a whole lot but the Vette puts the power down SO much better and I can power shift with confidence.
