Weight Difference

[HondaSpeed]

I was just wondering the weight difference between the 2 door CB7 And The 4 Door.

[sleepyuccord]

the only real difference i could think of would be the door mechanisms in the 4 door (window motor, door locks, hinges, back seat area... etc) i would assume the 2 door would be lighter...

i don't know if it's just me... i always knew our cars were pretty light. and from the information above, a 4 door sedan is ~2777 lbs.

but, on my rear drivers side door jam, it says that the front weighs ~2800 lbs. and the rear ~1000 lbs. and the total on the sticker says ~3800 lbs...

is what i'm reading, the actual curb weight of the car? i looked at it and i was so shocked cause that is one heavy sedan... maybe i'm not getting something?


edit::: and how does the coupe weigh 5lbs. more then the sedan?

heavy ass doors, have you ever lifted one? not that much of a difference though... that may just be a difference in shit that was in the car when it got weighed...

i have no idea about the sticker in the door. maybe it's saying you shouldnt haul more than ~1000 lbs in your ~2800 lbs car

hmm maybe that's what the weight's are, i'll look at it again. i probably looked at it too quickly. can anyone else cofirm?

i also read somewhere else where the weights were different and the coupe was indeed lighter then the sedan...

5lbs isnt enough to base anything off of... it could VERY easily be a difference of which one had more gas in the tank or which one had the fatter driver in it or which one was filled with hookers. you never know, either way they weigh about the same so i'm not going to concern myself over it.

the 1000lbs as a towing/carrying weight was a compete guess. post back about it though cause i know these cars are not 3800lbs

well curb weight is defined as: The weight of a fueled automobile with standard equipment but without cargo or passengers. (courtesy of answers.com lol) so those weights above may not be correct curb weights?

yea i'll check up on the sticker later today

[HondaSpeed]

Well the reason i am asking is because my cousin wants a 2 door and i asked him why.And he told me because there lighter i told him there not that much lighter and he needs to stop worrying about it but he wont listen to me.can somebody please tell me what the difference is.

[Shuebakka]

Theres only a five pound weight difference between coupes and sedans? Thats nothing. I shit five pounds. But a weight difference is hardly a reason to prefer the coupe. Tell your friend that is he's gonna get a coupe do it cause there cool. Yea, that's a much better reason.

[Cletus Vandamn]

First of all, if he wants a lighter car why the hell is he looking at an Accord?? Tell him to get a teg or civic or something if weight is a concern for him.

And second, that weight you listed is the GVWR.
GVWR=
Gross
Vehicle
Weight
Rating

or the MAX that the suspension is designed to hold. So basically its what your car should weigh with like 4 people in it.

[mondojackal]

the door jamb sticker is GVWR, which is gross vehicle weight rating, which means that you shouldnt have more than that much in the car, or put more than that much weight on the suspension..
*edit* reading owns me....^^
