Found these on facebook posted by Schwa

Keep in mind the fuel level. I assume since 1/2 is half tank, 3/4 is three quarters full, 1/1 would be full?
I have read that a gallon of gas weighs approx 6 lbs.

I was reading the list and finally read the very last car. 455, blown, and intercooled? Really? Anyone got pics of that thing? I’m a GTO (original) nut and have always wanted to put a 455 Poncho in one of these Fieros.

I had my 1985 SE V6 weighed with; 3.4 F-body engine, getrag 5spd, 88 rear subframe/suspension, and 86-88 GT rear quarters(Without ground effects)...No A/C, PW, PM, PL ,and the battery is up front. Total weight was 2640 with a 43.5/56.5 weight distribution.....Oh yeah, I have a tool kit, spare IM and coil, and a gallon of coolant up front. The accuracy would be pretty good,....the scales were for weighing vehicles before placing them on C-130s......

I do not know what the fuel level was...I was more interested in distribution.....After adjusting the rear coil-overs, I had 570 lbs on each front tire and 750 lbs on each rear.

Do a search for 455 Fiero and there is an orange one with the engine taking up the whole rear of the car....No trunk, and I would suggest the weight dist' would be worse than 40/60......

Hmm that car wasn't at the 35th, the orange 455 car with the olds trans was at the 30th. Maybe this is a combo list from both shows.

My car is the 86 GT with 2.2 ecotec. It was weighed at the 30th show, I did not make the 35th. I have since shed some weight by getting rid of the muffler and tearing out most of the AC stuff . Car now weighs 2746 lbs.

This was mine:

2920 87 GT 3800SC 4T65HD 1/8 No Rear Intercooler, Headers, Upgraded Wheels

Running on fumes. (I put 11 gallons of gas in the next day). Trans is a non HD and the upgrade wheels are just Beretta GTZ 16's. not sure what is meant by rear intercooler. The IC is in back but my tank is up front (holds a gallon of coolant).

i understand that at least at the 30th the guy that weighed the cars weighed each wheel. It would be interesting to know the front/rear weight distribution.
