which one is lighter? 2g FWD or 1g AWD

[sillyme]

I'm trying to find out which one is lighter from the factory. A 1g AWD GSX or 2g FWD GST? Both have cruise and AC.

Pretty sure a 1G is about 150lbs lighter.

 

[1995gsx20g]

even with all that extra drivetrain.. hmm

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

They weren't effin around when they made the 1G AWD Lol

 

[sillyme]

anyone has any facts? given the rear diff and added axles plus driveshaft. A 1g gsx should be close to the weight of a 2g FWD GST. Exactly what is i'm curious about.

2G fwd 5-speed = 2921 / 2998 pds------------2G AWD is 220-238 pds more. Driveshaft/diff./t-case. Thats a 200pd person...
1G awd 5-speed = 3073 / 3108----------------1G FWD is 280-300 pds Lighter.

A 2G fwd with the higher compression and 210hp factory is lighter obviously.

I stripped at least 200 more pounds from the fwd and its a night and day difference. With around 300hp its a highway monster.

Cheers

My 1g awd with ac, and full interior weighs 3,000 lbs.

I thought the spyders were heavier than that...

Lol I wonder why 1g awd lasers were lighter.

Probably something to do with less body trim panels, no spoiler and stuff like that, at least for the 1GA lasers. Maybe the lasers typically came with less options like ABS, a/c, power windows/locks, sunroof and whatnot.

Nope. They arent too too heavy. I forget what my registration said. But it was around there

Yes, lasers came with the bare minimum making them the lightest dsms stock!
