I wana see what I got mine down to now;) As for the 8.8>7.5" in weight, I'm only going by what I saw on coolcats. If it's really closer to 10 LBS then it has been corrected in my memory bank Quote Selected

Turbo Coupe Weight? Reply #14 – October 08, 2007, 10:21:36 AM Weighed my 88 auto TC with every option except leather and moonroof. On a certified truck scale and a half tank of gas it was 3360lbs. Not too bad for the size of the car, I think. Quote Selected
