I have seen 2900 floating around on the forums for some time on what the Cobalt weighs. Has anyone really put this to the test? I am curious if that is including a full tank of gas and a driver? or just standing still bone dry. If i look on the Wiki i have found stats as low as 2,681lb's for the coupe and 2,747 for the sedan. Does anyone have real time data? Check out the link bellow to see my findings. I think it's lighter than 2900 just because the shear size of the car. Any input is welcome

all depends with what options you get it with but 2900 is avg.

 

is that with a full tank of gas and me in it?

 

Mine was 3100 on the scales with a full tank of gas.

 

mine weighed 2950 with me in it and no spare tire or backseat

 

mine weighed roughly 2900-2950 when i went to the track. i spent more time on it once and got it down in the low 2800s with me in it

 

Is that with any weight reduction? I assume not, but just asking

 

The answer to your question is in the post you quoted.

 

i listed what i took out...

 

DAMN! that's heavy! you either have a dead striper in your trunk or you just a large man...

 

yeah....will's a pretty hefty dude...

 

Hey man i just read the printout. Technician must have been a big guy. Besides, i have full interior and a 19" wheel in the trunk.

 

i just use the scales at the track, pretty simple to use and the display is moveable so you can see your weight in the car and without you in the car

 

so for a guy that weighs about 215 wut should i be looking at?

 

the weight of your car+215. there isn't really a for sure way to tell other than just going and weighing it. i dont remember exactly what i did when i weighed mine but i never weighed it full weight. and since i dont remember what i took out i have no idea

 

19" wheel with tire? In the unmodified spare tire well? I couldn't fit my 17" race wheel in there with a 225/45 slick mounted, not even close.

 

What did you do to get the weight that low?

 

removed stuff. a hell of a lot of stuff

 

God I'm retarded my bad, been a long day

 

2,681lb's for the coupe

HA

 

For an absolute base model... that's believable. No A/C, cloth seats, etc. That'd have to be DRY weight... no fluids at all, but I could see it being possible.

 

full street trim with me in it 3100 on the scale at the track. hey exsoccer why so light but so slow? jus playin with you man

 

i stripped my car, only drivers seat no jack no spare 16" drag radials that weighed 15lbs each- 2910

 

ouch. hahah, but i think you know the answer to that

 

3100 and some change is pretty common for sedans with driver and full tank of gas.
