We were trying to work it out the other day and came to the conclusion that a VCT XR6 weighed about 1600-1620kgs without the driver. A fairmont would be a bit more.

Well in an AU intro article I have it shows the Au XR6 VCT at 1620kg and the Fairmont Ghia at 1650kg.

I can scan and email to younif you PM me.

My fairmont wagon was 1650kg on the weighbridge at WSID without me and 1/4 tank.

The double wishbone irs was supposed to add 70kg compared with the live axle.

Yes, but Vic Roads are morons. A manual XR6HP is officially recorded from Ford as 1530kg. Add the extra electrics, auto, IRS, etc and you get 1531kgs??

:
A ghia is EASY 1650kgs without the driver.

My ED Fairmont was 1640kg if that's any comparison.
