What are the stock weights of the WS6 Trans Am vs. a Camaro Z28? Both 1996's. I swear my Z was faster than my WS6. The Z had a cold air and magnaflow.

 

The t/a has more weight to it from the hatch and ground effects. Probly another 100lbs or so.

 

The T/A is heavier. The T/A comes with leather and power everything, which adds weight, plus the car is heavy to begin with.

My WS6, with a full tank of gas and nobody inside ... 3575 Pounds

 

Im pretty sure the main thing is the weight of the ground effects, other than that, take that off and you have a pretty close curb weight.

 

The side skirts weigh no more than a phone book each, and the hatch wing you can literally pick up with 1 finger. I know this from picking them up at a junkyard. People make it seem like they have the mass of a 45lbs weight.

 

I know that Formula's weigh less than both.

 

so how do you explain them weighing more then Skull Leader???

Can't deny the numbers.

 

According to Edmunds.com-

Formula - 3452
Z28 - 3466
Trans Am - 3477

The number of options in the car will make more of a difference than what type it is.

 

GreenDemon ... interesting. I wonder how Edmunds calculates curb weight. ???

I weighed my car at the I-40 weigh station near Brownsville, TN (Thanks Sgt. King!). It's 100 pounds over Edmunds. Full tank, no passenger, no luggage. Standard T/A options (which is pretty much every Firebird option available ... leather, A/C, M6 tranny, T-Tops, Monsoon, CD-Changer, etc ... )

 

This is very interesting to me, weighed Sara (2001 Z28 beefed up BMR suspension parts, and sub frame connectors) on a calibrated truck scale , and she came out as 3250 lbs (no one sitting in seats).
