I was wondering if anyone knows if there was ever a weight analysis done on a Fiero? I know they all come in around 2500-2600 lbs. I saw in one article that the frame weighs about 600 lbs and the body panels weigh about 175 all together. Has anyone seen a spreadsheet with detailed weights (engine, transmission, wheels, doors, seats, glass, etc).

that would be phucking sweet wouldent it!.

I'm curious about this myself. Project Lupine's weight goal is 2400 pounds with a 50/50 weight ballance. Knowing what things weigh will really help me to pull this off.

Here is some engine weights to help you out.

The frame alone weighs 600 lbs. Its not easy to get under 2400 without gutting it. I will post what I can out of the Performance Fiero's book by Robert (Greg) Wagner (think main page car). You can pick it up here. http://www.fierodave.com/

All weights are in lbs.

front engine mount - 2.8
glass sunroof - 14.3
fiero jack - 6.8
Spare - 29.8
Muncie 4 speed - with oil 89.2 - without 85.4

Good luck on your search. Hope this helps some. I would love to know how much the interior weighs (dash, carpet, ect)

Thanks for the inputs. I just ordered the book, looks really good. I was looking back and I found an old thread that goes back a year. Check out "weight reduction, handling and braking" which had it's last reply 5/5/2007 at 8:46pm. I printed out 16 pages of comments back and forth with all kinds of great weight information, plus ideas for weight reduction.

The IS a great book. If you dont already have it........buy it. Full details on 3.4 swap, 3.4 turbo (stage1-3), LS1/LS6 hybred motor, handeling based on autocross experiance. You will be hard pressed to find another fiero book with as much detailed info as this one offers. Worth every penny. I've read it 3 times myself.

Thats a good thread too. I havent read it all because I don't race. I dont need a car that weighs 2100 lbs. My 2600 lb fiero is just fine for what I want.
