Hey guys, does anyone know for sure what the wet curb weight is for a 92 GT?

If it helps, the car was made on a Tuesday...hehehe. Sorry, inside joke.

Also curb weight for a 94 GT, this is a black car, I think they are heavier ;)


I am trying to get rough estimates on the horsepower these cars are making using the dyno utility on corral.net. Thanks in advance.

Check the inside of the door of your 92 GT ( not sure which door ). You will
see the weight of your car plus 4 people in it. Subtract 180lbs per person.

Is curb weight with or w/o fuel?

Similarly, is the number on the passenger door with or without fuel?

My best friend had a '92 GT 5 speed. Its not totally loaded (no
leather) but not stripped either. It weighed exactly 3250 with about
1/4 tank of gas.

What you find in the door panel is GVW or gross vehicle weight. This is the
maximum weight the vehicle is designed for with a full tank of gas, 4 people,
and a fully loaded trunk, and anything else you can fit into the car. Trying
to calculate your race weight from this is nearly impossible. My
recommendation is to look up 'truck scales' in the yellow pages, and pay $5 to
have it weighed. There should be a truck stop near you with a certified scale,
and they are accurate to +/- 10# in most cases. That is what I'd do.

By the way does anybody know curb weight of GT 98 with automatic.
I only knows that with manual it's 3227lb.

There is a truck weigh station near me and I have been tempted to get my car
weighed...
It would be interesting to find out. Has anyone ever done this?

I weighed a '97 Cobra this week at Watkin's Glen. According to the
scales in the garage area, the Cobra weighed in at 3315 lbs, nearly full
of fuel. I figure the '94 GT must be close.

BTW, My '69 Mach I with a 428SCJ, ram-air, four speed and stock iron
intake weighed in at 3455 with a full tank of fuel. I figured the new
'stangs would have been a little lighter and my hay wagon a little
heavier.
