One of my buddies has a 67 Camaro and I have a 72 Duster. We are both trying to restore our cars and like to talk about what we are doing at any given time. We started talking about weight and I told him I was hoping my car would be 3200lb or under when I was done (340 4 spd car). He said "Oh, man that's HEAVY!" I was surprised to hear that since I look on here all the time and see full interior cars that weigh that much and more and asked him why he thinks that. He said "Well my Camaro is gonna weigh 2770 full interior with an LS1 5 speed modification." I told him NO POSSIBLE WAY and we argued about it for a bit with no resolve, even though I told him that 2770lb is a bit less than that year vette and even a 93 Ford Probe. I am no Chevy guy but I started looking up how much these vehicles are supposed to weigh, and 2770lb came up as a weight for that vehicle! Is that really possible??? I understand that it could be for the 6 cylinder but they can't differ in weight THAT much right? The difference between the 6cyl RS and the 327 Z28 is supposedly a whopping 770lb (2770lb and 3500lb)!!! The difference between my car in 6cyl form and 340 form is 270lb (2830lb and 3100lb), which sounds way more reasonable. So I guess I am just asking what everyone's opinion is, since you all have much more experience with these cars and probably know what they should weigh with different combinations. Thanks
