It was 2500-2600lbs for the GTS depending on transmission..
No RWD.
Small 15 and optional 16" wheels
Single exhaust.
A 6speed RWD transmission is longer in length and heavier. Than a fwd 6 spd trans. Then you have the crossmember and mount located in the tunnel area.
no driveshafts and all associated hardware
no rear differential, and being double wish or multilink that adds more weight.
