Question Weight of 1985 delta 88

Hi everyone, I was seing the quarter mile time calculators on the internet but they require the weight of the car on one of the fields. Does anyone know how much a 1985 delta 88 royal brougham would weigh?

Curb weight of the 4 door is about 3900 and the coupe is 3600, but my copue tips the scales at 3990 with the 307 and 4050 with the 350 both weights are based on 1/4 tank of gas

Yeah they finally gave up this year in Chicago. Now pretty much anything that they can't plug into... they don't test.

92 and older exempt now I am sure of.

well, 20.60 aint as bad as I expected (still aint much) but with a little work it should be easy to pull it into the 14's or 15's
