My 1992 hatch lxweighs in at 3450 lbs with the spare removed, me in it (185 lbs), and an almost full tank of gas. I could probably get it down to 3400 or so if I didn't have a full tank in it. I weigh mine at the 1/4 mile track.

i got mine down to 3020 with me in it and a half tank, i weigh 215. so the car is 2805lbs. i put my own rear seat delete,cut pieces from my rear inner bumper, completly removed front inner bumper, and other tricks. mind you my stang spends 90% of its time in my basement, not a daily driver.i weigh down the road at the scrap metal place , i just pull on and say " how much please?". i ve been there a few times

all the posted numbers look good to me

you can go to a scrapyard, truck stop, landscape supply , might charge you $5

my '89 notch 5-speed weighed 3250 w/ 1/4 tank and 150 lb driver
my '90 LX 'vert weighed 3450 w/ 1/2 tank and NO driver
i would guess a gt weighs w/in 75 lbs. of a lx 'vert
and 150 lbs more than a notch
