It varies Ben. A stock '92 LS-L will weigh around 3580lbs. Add a 170lb driver (not sure if this is what you mean by 'wet') and 3750 is reached.

The '92 LS models are slightly lighter as they didn't come with a sunroof or spoiler standard.

Among awd SVXi, '95-'97 L models that used the cloth seats, are by far the lightest and weigh in around 3,500lbs (no power leather seats, sunroof, etc). Both Mychailo and myself weighed our awd L models w/ a 1/2 tank of gas and got 3,490lbs.

By replacing my stock exhaust system from the headers back, I have shaved another 40+lbs from my car, and took off another 16lbs by going with 16lbs light-weight RX-7 wheels.

If you truly want the lightest SVX possible, go for a fwd version that comes in at around 3,350lbs w/o driver.

Dave's spoilerless 92 with sunroof weighs 3750lbs with no driver but a 3/4+ tank of gas in it (which is the car we used to determine how much the race car lost). My 95L weighs in at 3650 with gas. Both well higher than what Subaru claims.

If that's what you got, then maybe some models came in higher than claimed (Dave's spoirless '92 sounds like its an LS-L as it came with a sunroof). I think Highway UFO (formerly civic_slayer) weighed his '92 LS-L at 3,700lbs (but he did have a bunch of speakers, and an amp in his car).

The awd L models definitely are super light!
