Re: which is lighter?

Where did you get this from???

From 3rd Gen. Org.:
Weight Data on 1992 Camaros
Model Shipping Weight Curb Weight
Camaro Coupe 3025 3105
Convertible 3142 3220
Z28 Coupe 3194 3273
Convertible 3298 3377

Weights of 1995 Camaros
Camaro Coupe 3251 3171
Convertible 3342 3262
Z28 Coupe 3390 3310
Convertible 3480 3400

My 97 vert. which is supposed to weigh ~3480 actually weighs 3621.

Re: which is lighter?

The only way to know with absolute certainty which car is lighter would be to put each on a scale (ideally the same scale, one right after the other) and find out firsthand.

Options and mods change how much the car weighs.

In all likelihood, the '95 is heavier.

I've allways heard that the third gens were the lightest of all the Camaro body styles.
