Anyone know the approx. weight of an 2000 auto V6?

 

"Weights: gross vehicle weight rating (kg) 1,979 and curb weight (kg) 1,531"

 

why do u need to know if you don't mind my curiosity?

 

Is that like 3100 lbs? I think that's what my insurance card says.

 

i did an online conversion thing... it said:


1,979kg = 4353.8lb

and

1,521kg = 3368.2lb

 

the lower # sounds right, the top one just sounds like too much

 

i didn't come up with those numbers they came off a stang site hence the quotes

 

those are some prety heavy numbers! lol no wonder Mustangs are such porkers.. LOL

Well my car weighs in at around 3,000lbs

because for one its a coupe, and its the base v6 with a 5-speed, no anti lock brakes, no cruise control non of that...i also took the spare and jack/tools out...

here are some specs

Curb Weight

Base V6 coupe w/ 5spd trans. 3064 lbs.

-note that an auto trans weighs more than a manual**

GT coupe w/ 5spd trans. 3237 lbs.

Convertible V6 5speed 3203 lbs.

Convertible GT 5speed 3375 lbs

 

I guess ill throw in a fun fact while im at. The reason why V6 coupes with a some bolt-ons can hang with stock GTs off the line is because of the V6 weight advantage.

Another plus is that our V6s arent as nose heavy, due to the V8 being heavier obviously. Which can translate to better handling, that is if you can match or even beat the GTs spring rate of 450 in fron and 210 in back. You can exceed thise rates by going with stiffer springs like FM C springs for example. Gt sway bar in the rear and a thicker front would make your V6 beter around corners than a GT.

 

No reason I was just curious as to the weight advantage over GT's and other cars on the road. thanks for the help
