Default Weight of 2001 Prelude....what is it?

How much does a stock 2001 Prelude weigh with manual transmission.

I went on Honda web page but since they don't produce Preludes anymore, i could not find it.

2862 lbs is listed as the shipping weight for my car on my car's manufacturer's title. The shipping weight has to be pretty accurate because the shipping cost is determined largely by weight for vehicles. The shipping co wants to make as much money as possible and Honda wants to pay as little as possible.

Of course Honda would obviously want to keep shipping weight low by doing things like having minimal fuel in the gas tank (probably < 1/4 tank). Meanwhile, manufacturer curb weight ratings are always done with all vehicle fluids topped off.

1 gallon of gasoline = 6.1lbs

6.1lbs/gal x 15.9gal capacity tank = 97lbs of fuel in a "full" Prelude gas tank.
