I have a 1994 GT Vert...
I thought it was around 3600 lbs, but on another thread i saw over 4000
Anybody know how much it really weighs?

that didnt really explain anything!!!

OK maybe that was too much for everyone to handle. I assumed we had some engineers among us and wanted to know the details and perameters surrounding the descriptions of GVWR.

I guess that I could have just put the last portion of the information in there...

In my opinion, it wouldn't surprise me to see a SN95 Convert weigh in around 4000 lbs....

The Corvette mentioned above will definitely be coming in much less than alot of cars it's size and power on the streets due to it's composite construction. There are just too many "plastic" parts on the newer C5/C6 cars. That's where most of their "power to the wheels" in dervied from...not to mention the 6.0l and 7.0 liter engines that are in them.

I tried a Google on GVWR of Mustangs and Fords and came up with alot of crap.

Sorry to confuse some of y'all out there.

Sorry, I thought someone said "LT1 camaro vet"...I assumed they meant vet as in Cor-Vette. My bust for assuming there buddy.

AdderMk2

yea... apparently the R key on my keyboard gets stuck and doesnt record he keystroke sometimes...

then again if we are talking about convertibles... and someone types CAMARO vet... its probably just a typo and they ment VERT

Bad Karma

Yeah, it's pretty easy I reckon to confuse Mustangs and Camaros......when you're talking about Convertible cars.

Whatever Undercover Brother. I blood no foul.

Just go buy another keyboard when you get some time so you don't go pissing people off forgetting to add R's.
