I HATED my cts-v ... First 2 yrs were cool but my last year with it sucked... Was so glad the day i got rid of it. I would roll Lexus over anything cadillac has and might produce. Unless we are talking old school classics.

You can expect 50-75lbs at the most.
more than 50-75lbs..

Here are the official Ford weights as submitted to the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association for 1992, curb weight meaning full of fluids and ready to drive but without cargo.

LX coupe 5-speed 3010
LX Hatch 5-speed 3069
GT Hatch 5-speed 3144
LX convertible 5-speed 3231
GT convertible 5-speed 3365

LX coupe AOD 3076
LX Hatch AOD 3135
GT Hatch AOD 3210
LX convertible AOD 3297
GT convertible AOD 3431

These are the base weights for each model. Add to them the following options weights accordingly:

A/C 40
power locks 6
power windows 6
AM/FM Cassette 2
Premium Sound 5
Radio Delete -9

Now, cue all the people who want to argue:

- The definition of "weighs"
- The definition of "pounds"
- The definition of "factory"
- The definition of "87-93"
- The definition of "Ford"
- That Ford lied about horsepower so they obviously lied about the weight, take 200 lbs off because they say so
- That their stripped drag car with saran-wrap for windows and aluminum foil brake rotors weighs 2000 lbs, so that's what 5.0 Mustangs all weigh.
