Vehicle weight database

[Bryce]

ridetech has a whole new list of vehicle weights from the latest goodguys shows. Below is an image of all the weights. Though it might be easier to search and sort the weights online at: http://www.ridetech.com/tech/coiltech-2/

Thanks for posting.

Haha, Thanks, but I don't think it will help other C-10 guys - nice pict, I look like a little kid in it.

If by kid, you mean Kid Rock. Then I agree.

Anybody know anything about the 3060 pound Camaro at the 2012 Del Mar Goodguys? Curious how it was put together, and how complete a car it was.

ridetech has a whole new list of vehicle weights from GoodGuys and NSRA shows that took place in the past 4 months. Below is an image of all the weights. As usual, it's easier to search and sort the weights online at: http://www.ridetech.com/tech/coiltech-2/

So I noticed that the 1974 camaro was discriminated against in your list, lol! I think mine is roughly around 3600 lbs with the 350 sbc and th350, not sure on the exact though.

How about a 81 Camaro CP car? This was with steel body panels, fiberglass lift-off hood, lexan windshield, gutted doors, rear floor & trunk floor removed, 8 gal fuel cell, rear mounted battery, 3-link rear suspension, coilovers on all corners. 377 SBC with ST10 transmission. This was the initial weight, I will be adding ballast to get it over the 3050 lb minimum weight for the class. I will post the all the corner weights once I get it there.

Total weight: 2780 lbs

Front: 1544 - 55.5% Rear 1236 - 44.4%

LF: 738 RF: 805 LR: 634 RR: 602

Left side 49.3% Right side 50.5%

Here's a video relevant to our suspension analysis booth and how we got all these weights:

[Dr.Corvette]

My 67 Firebird. Pontiac V8. Aluminum heads and radiator. Factory A/C with Sanden compressor. TKO 600 5 spd. Otherwise stock.
Weighed 3571. Car only no driver.

My 68 C10 is in the trucks/SUV section. With the 350/TH350 combo, it was at 3,737lbs. with about a 62/38 weight bias. I have an update, though. I just weighed again this past Saturday at Shade of The Past. With the LS1/700R4 combo, it now weighs in at 3591lbs with almost exactly a 60/40 bias. That's still not as good as Rob's C10, but still not too shabby for a stock suspension street truck.

Of course, this is all before my fat butt gets in. lol

Not sure if I am going too far with my weighing or not but when scaling my car I always try to have the gas tank where it normally would be at the track day, sway bars disconnected, and I weigh it with & without me in the car. Doing it this way I get a true measurement of the car by itself and with me in it. I always try to scale my car after each upgrade so I can see the change that upgrade had to the weights of the car.

Here is my first time scaling my car

1986 Buick T-Type
Turbo 6 cyl
2004r trans
stock rear
18" CCW Classic wheels
stock suspension

CAR ONLY!
* Front - 1,953 lbs
* Rear - 1,436 lbs = 3,389 lbs


Same car except with complete DSE suspension

CAR ONLY!

* Front - 1,955 lbs
* Rear - 1,456 lbs = 3,410 lbs


Shortly to come,The new scaling will be done with the addition of BAER track4's up front and BAER SS4's in the rear

My cars weighed 2733 on my intercomp scales. 1965 falcon
My 65 mustang weighed 2663.

What kind of setup did you have on your 65 mustang? Seems kind of light considering a v8 car from factory weighed about 2800 lbs. My 65 fb weighed about 2880, when I weighed it.

[riles]

Disregard, just saw your build. Still amazed that you were able to get the car that light.

Just another data point-
1967 Camaro - 2999 pounds
~ 1700 front, 1300 rear
Stock all-steel body with front and rear spoilers. Full interior but with race seats (25lbs./side). About 15 gallons in the tank. 38lb. battery in the trunk. Stock 302 small block (iron block and heads, aluminum intake), M21 trans.

Will be interesting to see how little fuel it can run on without starvation. If it's down to just a few gallons, then the car could conceivably hit 2900lb. race weight with a lighter battery.
