SLE SC vs SSE vs 40th SSEi at the scale
 

Will, I told you yesterday I had weighed the SSE in at 3450 -I was wrong and just realized it when I looked up the pic of the SSE on the scale.


1995 SLE SC 3530 lbs

Half tank of gas and about 20-30 lbs junk/tools in the car -no passengers.

Attachment 72203

1998 SSE 3540 lbs

3/4 tank gas, car as it would have been on the showroom floor -all factory features, no clutter.

No wonder that 95' is quick. How does it feel compaired to you're old 99'?

Funny you should ask -I just got out of the drivers seat of the 99. :D We didn't do any side-by-side comparisons, but the owner of my old 99 drove the 95 and we both agreed that I have a stronger low end grunt. He said he's jealous of my shift kit too.
Otherwise, he has a 3.4" pulley, CAI, 2.5" HF cat, Magnaflow muffler, and a 180* t-stat that really makes things happen in the middle of 2nd gear.

To give an idea of how the two compare at the 1/8 track my PB in the 99 without the HF cat, was a 9.794 @ 75.38 mph. 60' on this run was a 2.347. Track temps were in the low 60's.
My 95's PB without the smaller pulley and new belt is a 9.590 @ 72.10 mph. 60' for this run was a 2.225. Track temps in the 50* range +/- 2-3*.


He's going to the scale to weigh it in now, and in about 10 minutes I'm taking my brother's 97 SSEi there. It'll be way over weighted because my brother has about 100 lbs of junk in the car now.

i weighed in at 3540 in my SLE in street trim 1/2 of gas......as in how the car rolled off the factroy no extras

Jason weighed in at 3500 in the same manner i did street trim < 1/4 tank if gas

1997 SSEi 40th Anniversary Edition

100+ lbs of junk and tools throughout the car and 3/4 tank of gas.

None of you're cars have sunroofs, do they? I heard they add somewhere around 80lbs. :shock:

Attachment 72195

the 40th SSEi does.

Just got the call from the 99 owner -with 5/8 tank, two big heavy 12's in a dual bandpass in the trunk the car weighed in at 3640 lbs. The 99 also has a sunroof, lumbar seats (97 40th just has standard dual power seats -no compressor, nor does the 97 have CCR like the 99).

mine weighed in at 3600 at Byron, 1/8 tank.
