the unbelievable weight of my car
I was cleaning my car today. accidently, I decided to read the information off the sticker on the driver side door. I was shocked by the weight.
it says: 3695 lbs. the front is about 1700 lb, and rear is about 1900 lb.
that is crazy. I always thought my 91 GXL only weight about 2900 lb. and even icemark's information says 91 n/a should be around 2800 lb, not > 3000 lb.
what the hell? I read it twice, and that is correct: 3695 lbs

The weight you are looking for is curb weight. The sticker does not have that number, only gross vehicle weight (maximum load) numbers.
Published curb weights have a fair margin of error in them, my car weighed 2580 actual with a 2625 published curb weight. The only way to really know is to take your car to a scale. The scale weight - your weight = curb weight.
Mine weighs ~2450lbs now.
