try this,

find a local truck stop with a "CAT Scale" and go weigh it.

wont cost much and if your nice and chat with them on
a slow day they might do it for free real quick.

and you'll know exacatly what YOUR car weighs

yea at the local trash pit here, you have to ride across a scale to weigh the truck youre in, i guess so theyll know how much trash you have. so try the landfill too. you could just hit the one up here and take off because it shows the reading outside...lol

thats prob the weight of the car with no accesories (seats and stuff).

i know the SN95's are over 3500lbs with interior not including driver.

3327 is right for a no-option 91 GT Vert. I've got mine down to just under 3000 now.

i know the SN95's are over 3500lbs with interior not including driver.
Nope, only the V8 'verts are over 3500, and any listed weight is going to be a dry weight, no fuel. They will have a full interior. 95 GT coupe manual 3281, auto 3350. Again those are base trim weights, add the cd changer, full size spare, moon roof, etc and the weight will go up.

Here's a hint, if you want a fact about a car, check out autos.msn.com They're surprisingly accurate, but sometimes they're just off the wall. Unless it sounds wrong though, they're usually right.

The new GT's are up around 3500, seems like they keep getting heavier every time. The Vortech GT ad reports it as being 3800 lbs.
