Ding ding ding! Het976 is correct. My goal is to have a car that is 1000 pounds lighter then a stock Turbo Coupe Tbird. The 87-88 Tbirds curb weight is 3400 pounds, ouch! They have a 190 HP, 240 TQ engine stock that boosts 15 psi from the factory. They run a 16.1 stock, but turn the boost up and they become much more fun. 2.3L Turbo Ferd with a T5 is the plan. I swapped one into a 73' Datsun 620 pickup and it was fun to drive, but then I parted it out =(
I just finished weighing my Z:
FD-655
FP-662
RD-521
RP-574
F Total-1317
R Total-1095
Overall Total 2412
My car is an early 1974 260z, no spare, couple gallons of fuel, no bumpers, but the rest of the car is stock. My numbers are vague estimates at best, I used 4 identical bathroom scales and moved them together to all 4 corners. They are consistant, and when weighing myself (200) were within a pound or two. The car also has new carpet all around (not as much insulation?) and a CD player with only one speaker.
I think I might be weighing in light cause the items that differ from a brand new car cant weigh 200 pounds (internet 260z curb weight 26xx pounds) Unless the curb weight for a 260z refers to a late car with the heavier 280z stuff?
Anyways, I will be updating once a week or so, with more pictures as I go.
