UPDATE!!!

Same car, now with RB header and 2.5" exhaust (no cat but does have resonator and muffler), RB air filter assembly, no smog pump, no A/C (compressor, brackets, condenser, lines, wiring), 3/4 tank, with my fat butt and the glass roof:

2540Lbs

The glass roofs weighs 15Lbs and I weigh 230Lbs.

So with a 1/4 tank, no roof, no spare/jack/tools/oil it should weigh 2500 with me in it. Nice.

Weighed mine a few months ago. 2550 with me and 3/4 tank. I'm 205.

No emissions or A/C.

Power options, and some stereo equip, glass sunroof.

'82 GSL.

Never would have guessed it was so light! I'm used to crossing the scales around 4k in my Camaro and Jeep!

Gotta love power to weight!

PS Thanks for the info on this site P71!
-Paul
