A firebird has a very heavy front bumper (75 pounds or so). The Camaro RS urethane bumper is about 30 or so? Also the brackets for the Firebird are heavy.
I have no actual data to prove it, but I think the JRS subframe is pretty heavy too. When I was moving it around, it certainly wasn't light. |
Just for comparison sake... My '78 TA weighs in at 3828 - Full tank of gas, no driver, full interior, amp and sub. I'm 100# more on each front wheel and 100# less on each back wheel. I also have the Pontiac motor with cast iron heads.
