Overall car weight:

Just less than 100 lbs is a good rough figure,
and it's not really that much.

Interesting how they stroked the base motor to go from 2.5 to 2.7,
but then bore it for the big motor.

---- (mm) bore / stroke
2.5 ------- 85.5 / 72
2.7 ------- 85.5 / 78
3.2 ------- 93.0 / 78
My 3.2 figure is for a 03-04 S. Thstone's figure is for a pre facelift S. I didn't think there was a weight difference between the two but apparently there is!

03-04 manual 2.7 is (according to edmunds and a few others) 2811lbs. You were right in assuming ~100lbs.
