Firebird Weight

What does my 1992 Firebird? OR what should it weigh?

I think they weighed it when I got my emissions done because it said something like 4158pounds on my emissions sheet. And looking around it seems it should weigh a lot less then that?

Re: Firebird Weight

that sounds pretty heavy to me.. it really depends on options but ive heard them weighing in anywhere from 2800 - 3400 lbs. theres tons of threads on this do a little searching you'll find what you need. from the looks of your info we have similar cars but ive never weighed mine. post up when you find your correct weight.

Re: Firebird Weight

Well then I guess if the weight they put down is right, my car is a little over weight, lol. Where do they weigh cars at? Because now I would really like to have an accurate number.

if theres a truck scale nearby u could use it at night. usually they leave them on at night around here. i think mine weighd like 32 or 3300 lbs but that was with 2 of us in it and subs. (i never got out of the car for some reason)

Re: Firebird Weight

I dunno about ur town, but the one near me is basically right beside the highway and the scale lights are always on, i dont think it would be illegal...i could be wrong lol. but yeah just drive through like the trucks do...at night i would assume its less busy.
