Default Mustang weights
Just sort of starting on all this but what are some of the 'real' curb weights/strip weights that you guys find your cars to be?
I'm quite interested in the the '85-'90 cars....

Probably around 3000lbs. I've got a 93 with with MM suspension pieces and some aftermarket iron heads. Right now it weighs 3180 without me in it.

Seems like these cars are a little heavier than I thought. I'm currently thinking of using a 351W in a coupe, don't see how these cars are as heavy as they for not being any bigger than they are...

There is over 100 lbs of sound deading material under the carpeteting to hold down the outside noise for a starter and heavy brackets holding things like the fog lites, etc.
