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.

base model 2954 lbs

 

My Base 5spd 2000 Prelude weighed 2862 lbs upon delivery.

How did you find that out, weight on the bathroom scale? J/K I'm curious cause I have a 2000 base 5 spd.

 

how did you manage that? they leave out some seats or something?

 

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.

makes sense

 

you sure? 100lbs of fluids? Gas is heavy but... it ain't mercury

 

1 gallon of gasoline = 6.1lbs

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