Real world weights for a Charger 500 and Daytona?

[Ghoste]

Has anyone actually weighed their 500 or Daytona?  Just curious what some actual weights might be for these two as opposed to any published weights.

I am thinking they would have weighed more than your average charger...because of the add ons.

I am going out on a limb here but I'm going to say that ED's numbers are for a C500. Seeing as he has ran his a few times down the track.

[Charger-Bodie]

I thought so...just wanted to clarify.

That's what I would think too and thats why I asked.  I recently read something giving published weights as being lighter than a regular Charger.

The 68 Coronet front grille on the C500s looks like it would actually cut down some weight compared to the stock 1969 item.  Although the rear window plug is a big chunk of added-on sheetmetal and it holds a larger-than-stock rear glass.  I'm guessing the net total car is a few pounds over the stock 1969 Charger R/T but nothing major.


I imagine the Daytonas might be 100 pounds above the weight of a stock 1970 Charger R/T?  Dunno about that, I'm just wild guessing.  I suspect the nosecone assy's weight is gonna be more than the stock 1970 grille/bumper assy but I'm not sure it would be a TON more.  The rear window plug/glass and the rear wing would add up to something worth discussing though, even with the wing being made of aluminum castings.   



Either way the aero cars wouldn't be drastically different from the non-aero versions.  Maybe equivalent to the weight of a full gas tank on the wing cars.

And I agree but now we're guessing.  That's why I was kind of hoping for some replies from some folks who had actually stuck them on a scale like Ed.

There isn't as much weight there as I would have thought,I know that. You are right about awkward though.
