I bet the road holding is up with modern tires.

Agreed. But the BRZ weighs 300lbs more than the GLHS (2800 vs 2500). If the GLHS had to meet modern standards (airbags, electronics, impact ect.) that advantage would evaporate.

My bud just got one yesterday. I'll see if I can get a drive.

Sweet. Let us know what you think. If he's not watching, see if it can break loose and drift in the parking lot.

Aren't Omni's about 2800 in stock form?

No way. 2450 for a stock TI omni with AC is a pretty good estimate.

I'm pretty sure my cousin has scales he uses for his carts and legends cars. I might steal them and see how much my glh weighs.

[spiro440]

2470 lbs with with a 3/4 tank of fuel.

BTW. can't wait to see one at the track (road cicuit). Will definately let you guys know

[Oggie Fisher]

2540 lb according to the April 1986 issue of Car and Driver.

My 86 glht weighed 2220 with out me in it. Without back seats and no ac. Flying J scale verified. they actually keep their scales fairly accurate. Current one supposed to weigh 2100 with a driver. I doubt that.

Anybody remember how the BRZ at the SDAC autocross compared to our cars?

Sorry I'm a week late to this thread but didn't know I'd been quoted. That Pat Culkin guy who went on to win the GRM Challenge 2012, was not as quick around the track as the BRZ in any of the runs I watched. To be fair tho, I didn't stay the whole day so anything could have changed in the afternoon. My 86 GLHS got schooled by both FR-S's last time I had it out. I agree that it's apples to oranges tho

Yes it is a great autocross car. He beat Barry's best lap by .01 seconds.

Wow what a porker, no wonder my subconscious had me buy a 2491lb wagon.

That's kinda what I thought. Thank you for remembering for me.

Check the article. Pretty sure it must of had a/c and a rear wiper.

Hehe. And probably a full tank of fuel would bring it in over 2500lb.
