Ever wonder what a 3S-GTE Swapped 6GC Weighs?? Options

Just had to weigh our car for the move next week (empty weight, then do a loaded weight, get paid for the weight that we move).

The car: 1/8 tank of gas, 99 GT w/Leather interior and sunroof, loaded up, probably about as heavy as it gets, SPOILER REMOVED, Gen II 3S-GTE w/stock 5S tranny, stock 15x7 wheels and 205/55-15 tires.

2700 lbs on the nose. I expected it to come in 100-150 lbs heavier.

Lagos: We're driving the Celica and the Accord ourselves. I've got a buddy driving the Trans Am out a couple of days later, then I'm flying back later in March to pick up the Vette once the TT install is completed.

CelicaST: Not planning the GT4 conversion right now as money is TIGHT with the prospect of floating two mortgages for a little while.

Consynx: Spare tire and jack are still in the car, thanks for reminding me to pull those out. As for the fuel, the "standard" used is 6.7 pounds per gallon (that's an air force standard I'm VERY familiar with as I use fueling calculations for aircraft weight and balance on the KC-10).

Laff09: We're moving to Collinsville IL because I'm getting stationed at Scott AFB. We're heading out there next week actually. The Celica is getting a new home in a 30x24 foot three car garage with a nice 2700 square foot people living space attached. I can't wait.

I honestly think if you wanted to look at some things on the car and do some nitpicking, you could easily drop ~100 or more pounds from the overall weight. If you could get it down to about 2500 lbs I'm sure it would flat out SCREAM in terms of acceleration.
