Don't think I have owned a car below 3,000lbs.

my 67 Camaro was 3,250
87 firebird 3470
85 Grand National 3630lbs.
75 Corvette 3460

These are the weights I have in front of me In my old Racers log from when i would go to the drag strip. I would weigh in the scale at end of the track , the weights do not include me in the car or spare tires jacks and less than a 1/2 tank of gas

Still beats my current cars
04 Cadillac SRX 4,350
95 Tahoe 5,500
02 Alero 3,077

Sold my 02 Aztek 3750lbs

I wouldn't want to hit me in an accident
