Anyone ever see a comprehensive list of curb weight sorted by configuration, trim level and options? For example, I tried searching online to find the weight of my 2017 2LT RS A8 V6 convertible and cannot find anything specific. I'm curious to see how my car compares to other Camaros, and other cars.

I only have this weight chart from the 2018 Chevy order book that covers trim levels and doesn't break out options apart from 1LE. Hope it helps at least a little.

How is curb weight defined here? I don’t think that is just the weight of the car itself. Might include an allowance for fuel and a driver maybe some cargo.

"Curb weight (American English) or kerb weight (British English) is the total mass of a vehicle with standard equipment and all necessary operating consumables such as motor oil, transmission oil, coolant, air conditioning refrigerant, and sometimes a full tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers or cargo."

Great graph thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting.
A few things that are interesting.

Weight added from lightest T4 coupe to heaviest ZL1 vert is 809 lbs.

T4 and V6 weigh less with auto trans but SS weighs more with auto.

Weight added for each convertible:

T4 man 293 lbs.
T4 auto 288
V6 man 267
V6 auto 274
SS man 271
SS auto 272
ZL1 man 230
ZL1 auto 204

So the lower the trim, the more the convertible weight is increased, by up to 89 lbs.?

Do you mean ZL1 instead of LT1?

(The following is pure speculation for the fun of it. Fixed the LT1 vs ZL1 typos in the quote, hope you don't mind.)

There seem to be 3 main "classes" of difference, ~290 lbs for the I4, ~270 lbs for the V6 and the SS, and ~230 lbs for the ZL1. The diagrams below partially explain why the lower trims have a different weight delta, they require more of the heavier additional chassis support components for the vert than higher trims.

Since engine configuration also impacts the difference, there probably are other parts related to forced induction engine configurations that are already added to the coupe and thus reduce the weight difference between that and the vert.

I can say its pretty accurate at least for the M6 2SS. I owned a M6 2SS (sunroof) and with 1/4 tank of gas the scales read 3685. I think the LT1 is about 60 pounds less than a 1SS.

However my A10 ZL1 was lighter than the chart at 3885 with 1/4 tank of gas.

Thanks for the LT1 to ZL1 correction... I had just finished reading a thread about a LT1 and was concentrating on the math, not the names.

3858 lbs with roughly 1/2 tank of gas.

Going off that chart of 18 models comparing the manual and auto SS and ZL1 cars it looks like the new A10 adds a nice chunk of weight over the old A8.

If you're wanting a lightweight V8 car I know GM lists the basic, no option, M6 LT1 at like 3,611 lbs. That's basically S197 Mustang GT weight which isn't bad in 2020 for what you're getting.
