How much lighter are the base models?
Sunday, October 30, 2005 5:32 PM
Ok, I have a 05 ls sport cav, I think the curb weight is around 2800. I know all the options add weight but how much? Lets see over the base, I have: Power everything, sunroof, 16" wheels, ABS, Power steering, the body kit and what else?

26.45 lbs..........

no actually its probably not really that much of a difference

plus the base model also has ABS and powersteering... the ls sport kit is pretty much like maybe 5-10 lbs more, the wiring and everything for power everything maybe 20 lbs and the sunroof, possibly another 15lbs or so

none of those are accurate and i'm just imagining what they would weigh, but its really not gonna matter that much

around 35 lbs for the moonroof
maybe 15 for the ls kit
maybe 20 for the abs module (base model from 2003 to 2005 didnt have ABS)
around maybe another 25 for the wring and switches
around 7 lbs by wheels with the tire inflated
another 2 for the exhaust tip
if you have XM add another 2 for the satellite antenna

i came up with 106 lbs more (approx)

Base US Coupe weighs 2617. Z24 Coupe in Canada (should be same as LS Sport) is 2677.

Plus - most LS Sports have sunroof which is probably about 60lbs. Not sure how much weight to add for optional XM Radio, OnStar, or side airbags.

By the way, base Canadian Coupe is 2581 without A/C, but with body side mouldings, rear spoiler, smokers pack, and engine block heater.

Mazda says add 10kg for sunroof, so a better guess would be 25lbs.

My base model 04 at the track, full street trim (sans spare tire and jack) with 160 lbs driver and a half tank weighed 2750. Also I was running z24 16" rims (not LS sport).

I have done teins struts eibach spring (no weight gain)
eibach front and rear sway bars (+9 lbs over stock)
front and rear strut tower braces (+7 over stock)

any question hit me up, Airtonics car (same driver) was at 2850 but he was at less gas then me I believe, but he aslo has the S/C on his eco as well.

All I know is the sunroof is going to weigh you down more than any of the other options.

It did if it was an auto! Automatically came with ABS.

Trust me I know. Besides my popular package (folding seats, insulation) and the sport package I'm a base model....

then your not a base model.....

base model = NO OPTIONS (standerd manual trans, manual windows, NO ABS, NO AC, NO power door locks, NO power mirrors, NO rear defrost (its hard to get the NO AC and NO Rear defrost....... its usually one or the other)

I would love to see what a true Canadian Base Model weighs........ since they get the AC delete option (not sure if the US model does)
