Default How much does your C4 weigh?

I've got an 85, and was curious to know if anyone has actually weighed thier car. I'm most interested in one that is a stock coupe, with 4+3 and a/c. I'm also interested in any others also. Curiosity :D :cheers:

my '85 auto with me in it weighed 3250 at Ennis. This was with no spare in the back and probably 1/2 tank of gas. I am a small guy... only 125!

With me, half tank, spare & jack was 3500. I am 235.

I figure with no spare and jack, me at 200 and 2 gallons of gas, I should get it down to 3350 race weight or so.
