My 90LX AOD convertable weighs 3600 with me (150) and a half tank. The weight on the door is probably max GVW (gross vehicle weight)

The door sticker is GMVW. Gross Maximum Vehicle Weight.

According to the NADA website, curb weight of your car is 3,365lbs.

Your car weighs 2834lbs stock. Hey, how do you guys weigh your car youself? Do you pull into one of those truck scales on the Interstate or what?

The maximum vehicle weight with passengers and luggage......whatever you might be carrying. Not sure how they come up with that figure. Hey blueneonman....a lot of tracks have scales. Where are you getting your weight figures? Never seen many stangs under 3,100 pounds with the exception of ones that have been stripped or lightened in some way.

Yeah, that weight that I mentioned does sound a little low. I think I will delete the bookmark of that mustang info site I refer to. So how much does it cost to weigh your car at the track?
