How much will it weigh?

General estimate?

rough geusstimate is about 2100 lbs - 2,500

Man thats ridiculous light

Mini cooper = 2700 lbs
Chevy cobalt = 2950-3100 lbs

I'd guess the target weight is something in that range.

Heavier if it's a bigger (2.0 or 2.4 L) engine.

ok i was a little off i would guess more around the mini if not lighter

Yeah I would say around 2700LB with nobody in it.

I am guessing around 2800 pounds.

why do we think that high.... ok the nsrt weighs 2800-2900
you guys really think it will weigh more then a skittle???

With all of the safety features it needs (and should have), I would say around 2800 lbs. I can't see how this can weigh anymore. The Caliber weighs around 3,000-3100 lbs. (Depending on model and if it has AWD). AWD adds about 250lbs to the Caliber.

x2. my thought exactly

Another thought on weight:

Everyone thought the Challenger would be lighter than the Charger. But by the time they added the required safety structure in the door and frame (to get rid of the B-pillar basically) it weighs the same.

that's is one of two reason why the Challenger is so disappointing to me. The other is the Charger interior. they show have spend a little more money to spice up the dash lay out.

I agree, I wish it was 3500lbs instead of 4100.

3500 with 425 horse was what I was drooling over a year ago.

But I would still trade in my Charger for one in a heartbeat. I like the more retro look that they gave it.

i would have to agree with you on this one

Yup, you cant have your cake (coupe) and eat it too (low weight)

Like all recent Chrylser vehicles, the Hornet is a bit of a porker at 3,100 pounds - considerably more than, say, the Neon - but it sure has get-up-and-go, with 0-60 times estimated at 6.7 seconds (the 1995 Neon was considered very quick at 7.8, and today's standard compacts usually do 0-60 in upwards of 9 seconds; the Chrysler 300 with 250 hp 3.5 V6 does 0-60 in about 8 seconds, by comparison, and the PT Turbo, with five-speed stick, in about 7.5 seconds, while the SRT-4 is "under six seconds").

.. my guess, close to that. lol

If you look at the horsepower required for a vehicle in this performance range (roughly 14.0-14.5 @ 95-98mph in the 1/4 mile)...

...every 100 lbs in weight requires about 7-8hp more to keep the same 1/4 mile time.

i.e.
2800 lbs needs 220hp
3000 lbs needs 235hp
3200 lbs needs 250hp
3400 lbs needs 265hp
