To the original poster: What have you added? bigger brakes? swaybars? wider tires? Larger exhaust? They would all add weight.

Not sure on the gel battery weight, but my optima yellow top I can hold in the palm of one hand compared to a normal battery that I cannot.

I added roll bars,turbo sway bars,fire extinguisher,strut tower brace, camber plates, but i also did away with the heavy front struts for some coil overs and the sway bars were the hollow type.

Well there's no way his car is 1300lbs heavier than it should be.

Either way, a car under 3000lbs is light these days. Compare that to some of these fatty cars like the Challenger, new Camaro....

Default the correct answer is....

I am looking at a 1986 Porsche 944 sales brochure that I got from my local dealership back then.

Curb weight ... 2778 lbs.

2900 sounds much more realistic... haven't heard of any preludes that weight that much. That's like SUV/Truck weight lol.
