Weight - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #42861 15 posts Started by Bigmeanbulldog55
I don't know how many other people wonder about this, but I'm curious on the weights of all the stuff. What is the weight of a coupe, a hatch? The weight of the GT and ST's? The weight of the 5sfe auto, 5sfe manual, 7afe auto, 7afe manual? Any info on this would be great. I think we need some more info on this site of the technical stuff about the 6gcs. I'll get to work trying to find what I can.

That wieght is way to high. That must be for a GT4 or something. 60/40 sounds about right though.

Its the gross weight meaning actual car weight + fluids + max load
my car, loaded, with the turbo stuff, and 2 batteries in the car, and about 1/2 tank of gas came in @ 2950lbs

Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)13.6@108MPH, 5SFTE Powered
mine at a 1/4 tank of gas with turbo and stuff and all carpet removed back seat out no spare fiberglass sub box and trunk floor with two 12in kickers amp and cap came in at 2500 but i dont have air cont, and i removed all the sound paper off the floor ,i think in all with the sound system it added 120 pounds and we removed 260 pounds and when we weighed the car before the system and weight removal it came in at 2810

Thank you very much Hurley. I spent about 2 hours today searching for that info and couldn't find it.
Wate a second, it doesn't make sense that an ST and GT wiegh the same. Something is screwy here.

yeah in 94/95, I found that odd too... I'm guessing edmunds.com just didn't have enough info for those years or something

I bought a couple 97 brochures(sp) off e-bay the US one is as follows.

stcp auto 2475
stcp manl 2395

sthb auto 2495
sthb manl 2415

gthb auto 2640
gthb manl 2580

vert auto 2815
vert manl 2755

I guess I never noticed but the vert is the heaviest?
Seems odd.

Nice.. 2400lb for my ST woot! HAHA .. wait are those optioned out..?

I wonder what the lightest you could make an st while still retaining some creature comforts. (Mainly the front interior) I think it would be sweet to see a 4age sans a/c, sans ps.

There is a guy on here with that. I wouldn't think you could shave more than 200lbs from the car. That is a good bit though.

wow, for 2 doors it weighs about the same as my 4 door! iirc the corolla/prizm 7th gen weighs 2580 or so.
