on a 1986 Z28? I would imagine it would be close to a 1984-1989 there abouts? The sticker is located on the drivers side door jam. My sticker is missing and I really need to know the gross weight.
Thanks

 

i dont know about the gross weight rating but my title tells me my 87 iroc weighs in around 3400

 

I'd guess around 3900-4200.

Now, GVW is NOT how much the car weighs. It's how much weight the chassis can hold without damage. That actual weight of the vehicle would probably be anywhere from 3200 to 3600.

 

This man speaks the truth.

I'd say your car is 3400-3500 or so, Mine is 3450 without me or my stereo in it. 89 Iroc.

 

Your IROC is that heavy? Most third-gens weigh in at 3200-3300lbs.

 

Since when? I am on my third third-gen and the lightest one was 3400 (V6). My current one is the heaviest at 3520 without me or my stereo. With me and my stereo it weighs in at almost 3900 lbs. The sub box and amp is about 100 lbs and I am 240 lbs.

 

There is no way they weigh that much. Third-Gens are hundreds of pounds lighter than 4th gens.. and 4th gens weigh in at 3600lbs or so usually.

 

Mine does. I have a set of state certified scales 25 yards from me.

 

Hmm.... that is very interesting to hear

 

mine was 3600 with me and a 1/2 tank in it, so, 3350 or so

 

I've heard that 4thgens are usually heavier. But 3rdgens aren't light weights themselves. I haven't seen a somewhat stock thirdgen weigh any less than 3300 and that was my friends old 84 non-gfx, v6, 5-speed, no a/c t-top car.

My vert is a fatass weighing at 3700 with a 3/4 tank.

 

Holy off-topic thread, Batman.

Oh yeah, gross weight is about 4000 lbs.

 

My 86 Trans Am 305 LG4 T5 with all power options weighed in at 3380.
My 88 Formula 305 TPI A4 with power locks and windows was 3440.

 

EH.. 3380 isn't *that* bad, but it's still on the heavy side
Oh ya btw Manny, that Performer and Dist. run GREAT on my 305 Thanks for all your help
