Has anyone on here ever put their car on a scale? If you have, what did it weigh? How about we do it like this:

Year
Trim/model
addition or reductions to weight
weight as weighed on scale


Im trying to get a feel for which trim level weighs what on the 90-94 and 95-99. I cant seem to find definitive answers, and the curb weights on mine seem incorrect. Which seems likely as the curb weight on my brothers 2.5RS is a few hundred lbs off. Thanks!

I weighed in on a scale at a drag strip before....

1992
Legacy SS 5mt no airbag
Intercooler, 16g turbo, Full 3" SS exhaust w/ up-pipe and cross-pipe, Light weight flywheel, some other mods, none weight saving.
IIRC it was 3080 lbs. That was with a box of tools in the trunk too that probably weighed around 50 lbs.


I remember that everyone was surprised cause most of the WRX sedans were weighing in around 3200+ lbs.

Imagine if they only weighed 2K lbs like my metro! WEEEEEE!

And isnt the curb weight on the SS's like 3300 lbs? Anyone ever weigh an L?

go pull my motor/fix my clutch and then we can go weigh my car...

I weighed mine the same day as Matt. If I remember right, mine was a pig... Maybe 3800 pounds? I didn't empty out the trunk or anything (and, believe me, my trunk is full of tools and parts) and the car has a trailer hitch and drawbar on it.

I had thought I weighed it again when I did the turbo swap, but I can't find that info.

Are these weights with or without you guys in the car?

I'm trying to remember if that was with me in the car or not.....I'm thinking it's not.....but I can't say for sure.

At the time it was just an L. I've got a good 50-70 lb speaker box in the trunk. Plus fuel is going to probably be around 150-170 lbs at least.

Mine was also with me out of the car.

So I now have a 90 L AWD and I just weighed it. with a bit less than half a tank, its 2910. Heavier than I expected and hoped.

my with me was around 3100
90 LS FWD N/A
I believe i took at everything so i could make sure it was just me and the car.

98 GT, 5-speed, 1/3 tank, me not in the car:

Very nice Jamal.

Anything out of the ordinary to obtain that weight? Interior, trunk, spare etc.?

I didn't think the BDs were that light.

no weight reduction at all. I think I might have even had the roof racks on at the time. A lighter hood and battery would certainly be nice.

Is that with a cage or anything? how stripped of an interior? No dash?

I weighed the white SS at the strip last week. it weighed 3145 with me, 1/2 tank of gas, 2 kiddie booster seats, a helmet, laptop, a few tools, etc.

My SS was 3050 without me in it...including gas, subwoofer, small toolbox

You guys sure have allot of SS's. Noone rocks an NA around here?

Sure they do but everyone one here wants a turbo car. I've had 2 NA legacys both 90's and now I finally have my turbo 91.

3650# with me and all my work stuff.
