The real weight of 07-08 GT's

3 of us went out tonight for dinner and cruise and we weighed our GT's at a truck scale we know of that is open to the public. Interesting..

08 GT coupe with most every option 5 speed came in at 3600 lbs wit no driver 3/4 tank of gas.
07 Shelby GT coupe 5 speed with aftermarket stereo/amp/speakers. paxton blower and a buncha other add ones weighted 3560 with no driver and 3/4 tank gas
my 07 GT convertible with just about every option and 5 speed was 3640 w/o driver and 3/4 tank.

Interesting. First the Shelbys DO weigh less then regular GT's and the convertible only weigh 40 lbs more then coupe optioned the same. I was told that the verts were 100-125 lbs more which is not true.

The "real weight" of my 2008 GT is 3490 lbs. That is actual curb weight, with full tank of gas, floor mats, nothing else inside, as weighed on my Longacre corner scales at home soon after I took delivery. The only options on my Premium '08 GT are spoiler delete and 3.55 gears.

Now I am going to have to find a scale. The only ones I know about are at the transfer station (dump) and a scale for tractor trailer rigs.

I've weighed my 07 Mustang GT Automatic Coupe several times in several different configurations at our nearby Dept of Transportation weigh stations along Interstate 5. These are accurate to within +/- 20 lbs.

Full tank of gas, everything in car = 3,560 lbs.
Jack/spare removed, back seat removed, 1/4 tank of gas = 3,440 lbs.
