Default Suprising results on the weight of 99-04 GTs!!

Well my buddy and i just took his 2003 mustang gt through a weigh station out of curiosity and i was blown away by the results. From what i read, i thought these cars with a 170 pound driver were like 3670 pound car. Well get this the lady tells us the weight, we subtract what i weigh and what my friends weighs and the car came out to be 3351 pounds. Well needless to say i think the 4000 lbs cobra might be a lie... anyone else have any input on this?????

you also have to figure out the cobra has a bigger engine which weighs more and the IRS on the cobra is pretty heavy also.....

convertibles weigh more than coupes because of the increased amount of metal in the structure to make up for the fact that you don't have a roof over your head adding strength,
