Title: Going to get the turbo Cougar weighed tomorrow, any guesses?
Post by: Loaded87IROC on February 06, 2012, 07:36:52 PM
I am planning on weighing my car in the morning and seeing what everyone thinks it will weigh just to liven the place up a bit.

Here are some specs:
2.3T w/ TC intercooler
T5
TC 8.8
No back seats, manual front seats
No interior panels, carpet, headliner, etc removed
All AC/heater components removed

I'd love to be sub-3000 but I'm thinking V8Demon's guess is going to be close.

2960# is my guess since you didn't say if you sed the sound deadener off the floor(40#) and sounds like stock suspension.  My bird with coilovers and no interior, two corbeu seats and some removed metal, removed bumpers and some other stuff was 2820 on scca scales.  Local truck scales can be hit or miss.  The place I went originally right after I got my car roadworthy weighed in at 2730# which really shocked me!  I didn't think there was any way it could be that light.

Wow, I was guessing it would be under 3000?  What do I know, though.

I did forget he has a 4 eye, those tend to be much lighter. It was probably 3200lbs before removing things, vs 3400lbs I would guess for a 87-88.

Back from the scales!  I ended up weighing it with the back seats in because I took my buddy and my son with me.  I had a quarter tank of gas, jack, and full sized spare (10 hole.)  I have sed the sound deadener from the trunk only.

2920!

. I think Fordguy545 wins that one.  After seeing the car, I figured you had to have lost at least 500 Lbs out of it.

I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

, I was actually hoping to be closer than 40#.  You can make one of these cars featherweight if you try.  Mine should be closer to 2720 on the scca scales this year.

wow! I didn't think it would be quite that light.  I would have guessed a shade over 3000 myself.

Sure as hell BETTER be under 3 grand!! LOL. My silver p.o.s. weighed 3400 on the nose with me in it, somewhere btwn 5 and 10 gallons of gas, that's an 88, no a/c, 5.0, T5, no power seats. No trunk liner, no hood blanket, just for the record. So the car itself, with no me, is about 3250.
 
So a four-eye, with a FOUR banger, T5, NO backseat, pretty much NO interior, no power seats and no HVAC box whatsoever it sounds like...I should have posted but I was going to guess 2800. Almost makes me wanna gut the silver car fully and see how it scoots lol. But I won't. I just couldn't make myself take a luxury vehicle and strip it down hahahaha, it's so counter-intuitive that it'd be a sin to me. If anything I'll ADD  to that thing and just make more power when I can. Of course power seats, screw that. Way quicker to move well-greased manuals than waiting for power seats. Hell even brand new vehicles aren't any better. Where are my 2 second end-to-end power seats dammit!!!???
