how much does a 5th gen weigh..to settle a debate
I thought 5th gens weighed around 3400lbs...but people on my local maxima board claim 3180lbs for the most loaded SE...I am referring to a vq30dek version BTW. What does it weigh?
I tried to do a search and was greeted with the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 1024 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/forums.maxima.org/httpdocs/search.php on line 910
I didn't see an answer in the stickies either.

SE - 3199lbs.
VQ35DE cars are as follows:
GXE - 3218 lbs.
GLE - 3275 lbs.
SE - 3224 lbs.
That still seems low for the SE to me. I guess I am happy to find out that these cars are still relatively light...I always thought my 5th gen would weigh a crap load more than my 4th gen. But these specs do not specify whether the car is an AT or MT. My old 5 speed 4th gen GXE felt real light compared to my AT "loaded" 2k SE...but I am sure a lot of that "light" feeling was due to how quick I was able to accelerate the old car with the MT.
I am sure there is a tag on my car somewhere that lists it curb weight, however I am not about to go wash off thick salt/grime to find it.

- GROSS max vehicle weight (~4300lbs)
- FRONT gross max wieght
- REAR gross max weight
but no curb weight....I'm not sure if the underhood information plate does, but I don't think so.

My SE with meridian package, leather, sunroof, etc probably weights more around 3250lbs.

HIDs can't weigh that much, can they

Even so, those numbers don't look to convincing. I've done quite a bit of weight reduction on my car and a stock 2k SE should realistically be a lot heavier.
