I've searched. Came across this http://2ndgenrx7.freeservers.com/specsmaster.html
It suggests that a SE weights the same as GXL. Obviously Incorrect.

Many people tell me different weights which leaves me confused. Anybody know the weight of a 88 GXL? I originally had the rear seats but I swapped them out for the storage bins.

So It Is safe to say I am looking for the weight for a GXL- non 2+2.

 

2625 for a manual and 2675 for an auto. Got it off ofhttp://2ndgenrx7.freeservers.com/specsmaster.html its a good place for specs.

 

2625 lbs? Can someone tell me how in the hell a GXL weighs as much as a base model?

Really, about 2700-2800 pounds. Don't know if you need an exact number - it really depends on the car being full of fluids or not, etc.

If you want to know how much *your* car weighs, go to the city dump or a weigh station.

The s5 GXLs weigh 2800-2844 pounds.
What all does a GXL have tha a base doesnt just out of curiousity.

 

GXL's have -

- better seats
- power windows, mirrors
- power steering
- better grade carpet
- auto adjusting suspension
- rear wiper
- better stock stereo
- leather as an option
- cruise control

Some of these options could be ordered on a base, but they all came on the GXL standard. You could only get leather on a GXL or TurboII.

Go to a weigh station or the dump. Every car is different, no one can tell you how much your car weighs. People told me my 86' sport weighed about 2700#, well I weighed it and it was 2600 with me in it. (I weigh about 160)

 

I really need to get some better seats because the way mine are it hurts my back to drive. The only downside to my car.

 

If you look above your Initial response you will see I have already been there.

 

Yea, I know. It baffles me too. This what got me wondering even more about the weight of the GXL.

 

I want to know b'c I a planning on dynoing my car soon. Dyno man asks for the weight of the car. So I want to provide accurate number. I may just go to a dump or a weight station for exact accuracy, unless anybody has accurate specs.

 

Um.. the power ones wiegh less than their manual counterparts .

You can obviously see the GXL was the "loaded" version, loaded with weight too

 

Sorry I was not paying attention.

 

Are they heavier or lighter??

 

Not sure. I just heavier to be safe.

But it's been proven the manual windows are heavier than the power ones.

 

Oh ok.
