I drove my 2009 to a racing scale, with a full tank it came in at 3348lbs. This is on a base model with sports pkg

They sold almost 30K unit in 1990 alone, that's almost as much as a 4 years run with the 370.

This is what else I do know
I have 4 19" rims and wide 19" tires, not little 16" rims.
I have side airbags and crash bars at the door
I have rotors that are as big as the wheels on some cars
I have 6 forward gears
I have a chassis that is way stiffer
I have a car that handles better

I don't know why some of you guys have fascination with old cars. They were great back in 1990, but it is time to move on and get a new car. Why compare something that is 20 years old.
