Anyhoo... prolly something to do with yours being a coupe. Heavier body/chassis?

why is my Lumina Z34 1000lbs heavier than my bros 91 GP LE?

 

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?

The coupe IS lighter than the sedan, asshat.

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.

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.

must've been kinda confused from my truck, then.... 'cuz, when my truck was practically empty, I weighed it, and it matched the sticker on the door... I'm getting senile in my old age I is!
