The "what things weigh thread."

[murphyslaww]

So would you conclude that a eBoost w/pp would weigh nearly 143 lbs more than a V6, all else being equal?

(Because you can't get the 3.55 axle ratio on the eBoost without the PP like you can on the V6).

There are so many variations, that you're probably going to have to extrapolate your numbers by people weighing individual parts from packages and then applying them to what you are looking for. There is probably less likelyhood of someone weighing a V6 in general, so you'll probably be waiting for that data for a bit.

I think I've seen weights for EB PP's on some of the magazine sites, but that's precarious because they don't always say how much fuel they had in the car which could swing it a hundred pounds.

You're going to get some people that have cloth, leather, recaro's, etc.

Someone should probably make a spreadsheet with the different options and what the parts weighed per option. the OP already has a lot of that info including the stock brakes vs. PP. and Wheel weights, package to package.

Maybe I'll start a Google sheet for it and embed it here if that works.

Strange that someone that didn't read the entire thread didn't get the information he wanted out of it.

OP posted his PP GT weight at 3736, I posted my non-PP GT at 3593.

But, unless someone has one car with each of the hundreds of different ways one would option one of these cars, and/or how much fuel they have in when weighed, and weighed them all, there will be a bit of a difference.

Scott Walker needs to add those $$$ back to the education budget... :doh: J.K. Mine's not premium either, and that will probably be a variance too.

Lol, the GT Pp doesn't add 140lbs though. It's more like 30lbs or so. That pp weight is with gas and stuff

The difference between the wheels and tires alone is 31.8lbs(12.2lbs in the front and 19.6lbs in the rear), as calculated from the findings in the first page of this thread.

Consider the difference in weight of beefier components and components the non-pp does not have such as: stronger sway bars(?lbs), strut tower brace(?lbs),K brace(lbs?), beefier rotors(9.7lbs for the pair as calculated from the first page) and stiffer springs(lbs? if any). I am curious as to what this all weighs.

Consider liquids such as the extra 1.6 qt of coolant for the larger radiator capacity(lbs?). Perhaps the radiator is larger and heavier as well.

The list continues with lighter components such as the front end underbody plastic made for aerodynamic purposes(lbs?) and gauge cluster that the base GT does not have although likely insignificant.

The non-pp pack GT has heavier calipers (2.9lbs for the front pair) and the weight of the spoiler(lbs?) to its disadvantage although not quite noteworthy.

Eventually, we will be able to fill in all the question marks to better illustrate differences the nearly 100 lbs of weight a full tank of gasoline can disguise.

OP any news on the weight of BMR k member?

Terry Fair weighed a PP GT with leather non-recaro seats, whatever stereo package results in the trunk subwoofer, and probably a gallon or two, more fuel than my car had in it on the same scales. That car weighed 3718, mine was 3593, stripped, with cloth seats. So those numbers should give people a start with what has been weighed here.

Working on some more stuff.

Just so busy with the S197 and S550 stuff right now.

Thank you, sir for weighing your vehicle. Perhaps a greater list would consider the differences in weight of indvidual components of the fancier premium trim, but that would open another batch of unknowns. I have no doubt it will be detailed as time progresses, however. A 100lb difference seems a fair assessment between the highest and lowest trims. I picture two dog food bags worth of weight!

 

[murphyslaww]

Lol, thank Terry. He's the one that lugged his scales to my house when he picked up my E46.

I see thought you were talking about a non premium pp gt

What is also needed at the moment is the weight of the leather and cloth Recaro's

anyone know how much the '14 Track Pack wheels/tires weigh

 

[thePill]

Strange thread. It didn't answer any of my weight questions. The fundamental question I have is how much weight does the whole Performance Package add, in the eB? In the GT?

That is a question we are still looking into. It is difficult to actually weigh all the little extra's the package has that isn't listed.

The S197 didn't have a Performance Package, they had a Brembo and Track Pack. Previously, the Brembo package added about 50-60lbs over the 2011 Premium GT. They were weighed anywhere from 3650lbs to 3680lbs that I am sure of (I have heard some were slightly heavier but don't know for sure). The Premium GT weighed 3616lbs that year.

This year however, the Mustang offers a Performance Package. This package contains equipment that wasn't previously offered on the Brembo/Track Packages. This includes heavier brake systems, wheels/tires, a larger radiator, K Brace and all the little things here and there.

We think the Performance Package weighs about 65-75lbs.

 

[BMR Tech]

Not sure why it is Strange because it does not give a specific answer one person is searching for.

This thread is basically, anything goes about weights. Weights of specific items on the S550, weights of the cars, etc.

Soon enough, everything weight related will be able to be figured out in this thread.

I would like the weight of an aluminum diff and a steel diff....that would be a great bit of info.

anyone weighed the stock splitter and plastic junk underneath the front ?


For autocross I like that it's there for protection(from the cones that I, of course, never hit ;-) ), but taking weight off the front of the car is at a premium. I can definitely see me taking all that crap off, and splurging for an APR splitter if it's light and relatively sturdy.

****EDIT**** I weighed the bajillion connectors and the two plastic undercarriage covers. The were a flat 7.0 lbs. I didn't remove the splitter yet.

If I run without those pieces, I may have to make a small bracket to stiffen up the wheel well plastic, as it's just flapping with those removed.
