topless94style2 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I looked through the vehicle section on the home page, but it is listing the same weights for the cars. I know the vert weighs more than the coupe, does anyone have actual weights on these cars, and the weight distribution? I am finding a 65/35 split for 1st gen, but I am not sure if that can be accurately applied to 1.5/2 gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe w-bodies are rated for 1000 lbs payload, so if you subtract 1000 lbs off the GVWR on the driver door that should be the curb weight.

RobertISaar Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 1.5 cars with a 3100 are roughly 3300, 1.5 with LQ1/L36 are like 3450. cars.com SOMETIMES has curb weights listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skitchin Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Hrm, doesn't look like my sticker mentions payload anywhere, so not sure what my curb weight or distribution would be... 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE w/ 3100(L82/M) GVWR 4286 GAWR FRT 2407 GAWR RR 1879 PAY LOAD 908 CURB WEIGHT 3378 I can't imagine the split being anything less than 60 - not sure how the load factors into the split. Perhaps it's based on passenger weight? 2 front 3 rear, 908 / 5 = 181.6. 181.6 * 2 = 363.2 front, 181.6 * 3 = 544.8 rear. Based on that: FRONT: 2043.8 REAR: 1334.2 DISTRIBUTION: 60.5% front Edited May 20, 2012 by skitchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style2 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 check the sticker on your trunk lid for payload same one that shows tire preassures and sizes. Probably isnt the most accurate method but its a place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertISaar Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 checked my trunk sticker, payload of 1036(or was it 1086?) lbs (due to the 3+3 seating?). GVRW isn't mentioned on that sticker, i imagine it's on the door one? that one is too faded to read(actually one solid color now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style2 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I did the weight distribution off total axel capacity or the gawr. Im sure a scale would show something in the 60s. Gawr frt 2620 and gawr rr 1927 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
