No non Se is gonna be lighter, remember the motor is a little bigger. And gas weighs what 7 pounds/ gallon?

Don't forget that the -SE brakes are also a bunch heavier, and the wheels are heavier too.

Scales here are certified to be +/- 20 lbs.. I assume it's the same in Ca. Was that 2540 lbs without you in the car?

No for a full SE and a full tank of gas, Id say thats about right... Gas at 7 pounds a gallon X 15 gallons , well you do the math

Mine weighed in at 2560lbs with 3/4 tank of gas and full interior with me (140lbs) in the car, AC pump and heat-exchanger removed, so we can say that my '85 gsl-se weighs in at 2420lbs. I imagine most of the weight over a GS for example, is in the engine, tranny, rear-end, and brakes.

blah

My '82 GSL weighed in at 2570 with me and half a tank. That is almost full interior, full rollcage, AC removed, lightweigh exhaust, emmissions intact, and steel 13x8 wheels. I weighed 190 at the time.
