Default I wanna know too!

The numbers are all over the place on weight of first gen Camaros. I found a few references to published Chevrolet numbers from back in the day. I have the 1968 Chevrolet Chassis Service manual, for a V8 coupe they list weight of about 3050 lbs. Pontiac published a similar number for 1968 Firebird (i think it was technically 3063--you can see it in the Standard Catalog of Firebird book). I have no way of knowing if this is bone dry or a loaded or stripped car. Others that have weighed their cars seamingly have more or less the same set-ups and their mass can vary by as much as 300 lbs. For a street car i have not seen anyone claim less than 3200 and most are closer to 3400 for a true street car with AC, stereo equipment, overdrive transmission, 12 bolt or 9 inch, etc. Some strippers have been down to 2600-2800.

Anyone with real numbers can post up what they are running and confirmed weights? Be great if the weight distribution was known as well.

Thanks!
