Stock, full weight of a TTA?

[x86gn]

What's a pretty average weight for a stock, no weight reduction, TTA? One of my friends is telling me a TTA is about 100 lbs lighter than an 86+ Turbo Buick, but I'm thinking not. Is he right? If anybody has had their car weighed, please let me know and if it was with a full tank, spare in/out, etc... Thanks.

My TTA w/o me in it weighed more than alot of GN's with the drivers in them two years ago at the nats. Mine weighed in at 3565 with about 100 pounds or so of stereo stuff.

Mine was 3575..my buddies 86 GN hardtop was 3415 same scale..

Without drivers..

Wonder why there is a 200lbs discrepancy

My TTA, with everything stock (including spare) was 3400 with 7 gallons of gas....DOT approved scale.

If you'd deliver that mail....Your car would weigh 3400 again

Razor,

What kind of baggage are you carrying around?

GM's "curb weight" was 3346 from http://www.89tta.com/ttaspecs.htm

Its got to be that 200 lb spare tire

Can you imagine how fast my car would be if I removed 200 lbs

It was on an IHRA scale..rusty as hell tho..

time to put the car on a diet.
