Gas question

[ct91rs]

weren't the third gen's the heaviest of Camaro designs?

[Mr. Luos]

I love my V8. 30 MPG on the highway. 24 in town.

from what i have found it looks like your right, i also found that most 2nd gens weigh more than the third's...i'm gonna have to lay it on the guy who told me the 3rd's were the heaviest.

i just checked my drivers door, and it lists the GVW of my '91 at 4098!

Damn man did a fat lady die in your car? mine weighs 3300.

[ct91rs]

it doesn't smell (no decaying corpse), and its not a convertible (which i know weigh more), i really have no idea where the weight is coming from.

Weird..you really think that convertable adds about 800 pounds just for a little equipment?

Edit- Okay I just looked around and coupe- 3025 - 3105 And convertible- 3142 - 3220. This is for 92 Maro's but I dont think there's much difference.

Thats kinda heavy....Its all in the doors and hood

[tcfco2005]

thats why im trying to get a fiberglass ss hood

[ct91rs]

tcfco2005, our cars were almost identical, what's your GVW?

Gross Vehicle weight is the maxium safe operateing weight of the vehicle. not the actual weight of the vehicle. It means that you cant put a 2 ton jacuzzi in the back of it cuz it will weigh more than the 4098 lbs. the actual weight of third gens is around 3500 lbs. the cars got heavier as time went on, first gens were the lightest, seconds were heavier, thirds were a little lighter, and fourths were the heaviest.
