Drag/Acceleration Weight of the worlds fastest Stinger....

[Tonkabob]

4075 pounds!
There has been endless talk of wheel weights and GT vs GT1, GT2 weights and why one tune is better than another due to weight differences.
My beast weighs in at 4075 and I estimate a stock GT2 AWD would be 4100 or about 100 lbs. more than an AWD GT and 300 lbs more than a RWD GT.
So the sun roof doesn't add 185 lbs. The GT2 has more goodies than a GT1 so suspect the sunroof portion is about 80-90 lbs. instead of 185.

So GT should run about a tenth quicker and 1 MPH faster than an equally powered GT1 or GT2.
My wheel weight is rotational so should feel more like a 70 lb reduction rather than 45 lb but that still makes me heavier than a stock GT AWD.

How/where did you have yours weighed?

How/where did you have yours weighed?

Transfer station. I just had a few florescent light bulbs so a free weigh in. I'd be curious to see what the difference is between GT1 and GT2.

Sounds like a lot of speculation not sure where your getting that info. My reg says 4023. GT awd. I know awd is def heavier than rwd, like 200lbs.

Shouldn't be anything significant.


This is good news, though - I had been going off around 4200 for the car alone.

My GT2 AWD registration also says 4023. So we know that's not right, but probably right for a AWD GT.

Maybe you miss understood something?
GT RWD 3800 (weighed)
GT1 RWD 3900 (weighed)
GT AWD 4000 (From literature, one weighed in at 3925)
GT1 AWD 4090 (estimate based on GT2 AWD weight)
GT2 AWD 4100 weighed.

So you should be 200 lbs more than a GT RWD.

Why would the GT1 weigh less than the GT2?

 

[WildBill]

Some electronic gadgetry, HUD, Power lift gate. Not much.

Also cameras for saftey stuff, motor to steer for you and seat coolers. But still not a ton of weight.

Our GT is 3840 with a half tank without driver on the stock rims. I'm around 190 fully loaded and rims save around 50# when installed.

So sounds like about 3800 exactly with out gas.

 

[Terry@BMS]

Around there. I can't remember if spare was in or out when I weighted it as it was months ago. I think in and it was definitely pre WMI.

 

[POS VETT]

My GT1 RWD tipped a scale at 3,990 lbs with a full tank.

Good info. Looks like the gt1 trim / sunroof and other features adds about 100 lbs over the GT.

150 LBS Im not a big guy 5'-7" correction look at the fuel gauge I had a little over 12 out of 16 gallons in the tank.

 

[eflyguy]

Is that out near Red Rocks? Cool they set up scales, haven't seen that at the three strips I've visited in GA.

Gas is just over 6lbs/gallon, just fyi.

Yup Red rocks amphitheater is just behind that hill on the photo. Its nice they have the weight station and fuel store right next to each other at Bandimere speedway.
