superwombat Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Sorry, she must've shat in yo trunk.

I know the engine is a little bigger... but it's not that much of a difference.... I can assure you, a 91 GP does NOT weigh 2400-2600 lbs Where did you get this information about the weights anyway? Anyhoo... prolly something to do with yours being a coupe. Heavier body/chassis? The coupe IS lighter than the sedan, asshat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwombat Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 According to this, the Lumina coupe is about 3200 lbs. This says the GP sedan is about 3300. My driver's door sticker is faded away; I don't have an exact value for my car... Possibly a misread sticker on Bolt's car? Typo? (not very likely) Asshat... great word.

Bolt_Crank Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 the sticker on my door says 4388lbs.... :? :oops: :?: :!: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOHC_WBody Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 That's GWVR. (Gross Weight Vehicle Rating) You subtract the net weight of the car from that, and that is how much shit you can carry with your car. eg. Weight of passengers carried Weight of all fuel, water, oil and equipment (tools, etc.) Weight of all after-market items installed Weight of any cargo Weight of other miscellaneous items to be carried Go take a look at the GWVR on a pickup.
