That published curb weight may be correct if the car has no fluids on board, but it's not correct otherwise. Numerous examples of 3.2L cars have been on the scales at SCCA autocrosses in stock trim and the lightest I've ever seen is just under 2900lbs - that's with no exhaust, 18lb wheels, light tires, and next to no gas.

At highway speeds weight matters, but a whole lot less than from a stop. Which is what I said.
