Should be around

Coupe - 2610 lbs.
Fastback - 2640 lbs.
Convertible - 2770 lbs.

This is with a 3 spd though and not a C4.

If you want to weigh your actual car you'll need to find a place with a scale. I know a dump/junkyard here in town has one that they use to weigh metal pieces and a car can drive right on it. Someone else here even said they went to a weigh station(forgot who).

Make sure to weigh it with a full tank of gas each time you weigh, or else you could get some inaccurate numbers when you compare.

You can also figure out your weight bias with a scale.

Just weight your car with the front tires on the scale, get that number, then weight with the rear tires on the scale. It will give you a pretty close number so long as the surrounding road surfance is level with the scale (and the scale is level).

I looked at the title on my coupe and it said 2,498 lbs. so you can take it from there

I weighed my car at a truck stop and put the front tires on one pad and the rears on the second pad. This way I was able to weigh the car and also get the front /rear weight bias.

Cost me about $7.

Problem with a home scale is that with about a 2600lb car you need a scale able to read 650lbs. If you read in back of "How To Make Your Mustang Handle" for Fox body Stangs they have a drawing for how to make a scale adapter. It works on a fulcrum principle so that what it reads on scale you multiply by a number and that gives you the weight at that wheel.

Also if your car is an automatic add about 65lbs(or was it add 80lbs?)
