is the formula much lighter?

**Oldladykiller** · 02-28-2007, 03:56 PM

is it really 100lbs lighter than a trans am? what about a trans am ws6. if the formula has the options like t-tops and power windows is it still lighter? anyone know how much their formulas weigh? im just curious cause ive read people saying its about 100lbs lighter but would that have to be with 0 options?

I can see 100 pounds easy.

Power seats, power windows, stereo (monsoon), etc..
Adds up quickly.

uh... I got all that stuff in my Formula.

I dont have a 6 disk cd changer or leather though.

**Magic WRAITH** · 02-28-2007, 05:07 PM

ta's r like 250pd haver. thats all options 2 now though

**Secret Formula** · 02-28-2007, 05:13 PM

250? wow thats like driving around with a fat guy all day. (I apologize to anyone who is 250 or heavier.)

**Mr. Luos** · 02-28-2007, 05:17 PM

My fully loaded WS.6 was 3450 with a 1/4 tank.
3590 now. Freaking iron block and 9" rearend.

I don't believe the stripper Formula's weighed 3200 pounds.
I always thought the difference was more like 150 pounds at the max.

**Secret Formula** · 02-28-2007, 05:22 PM

that makes more sense. 250 is a serious difference.

**nhraformula** · 02-28-2007, 05:47 PM

my car is 3380 witha full tank.
i do have power everything. cloth seats.

Hey now, Im 250, but Im not fat, just tall

I wonder how they weigh so much less, bumpers and side skirts are the visual difference and thats not much weight there.

**Oldladykiller** · 02-28-2007, 07:02 PM

how much extra weight is the t-tops alone?

**FORD RECOVERY EXPERT** · 02-28-2007, 07:12 PM

full optioned ta, vs stripper formy... maybe 125-150. i started with an lt1 formy only power windows. 3476... added ta spoiler, gfx, bumpers, ram air hood, ttops, deleted back seats, and cut out fender supports, now...3459...what says you???

My formula with driver,150 lbs, was 3390 with 1/4 tank of gas the only weight reduction was no spare tire...
