Yes but when I weighed both cars, it was in full autox setup meaning, no
nadda in the car.

True but, the 82 has euro bumpers and the 84 has US bumpers. Doesnt add
up.

Nope, No A/C, P/S, P/B, both have P/W. 

The 82 SHOULD be lighter. The 84 has 2 X 12's and a 300w amp and the rest
of the stereo system. I just removed the header from the 82' and put it
on the 84'. The stock manifold/downpipe weighs alot more than the header
does so now the 84 will be even lighter. They're both basically identical
cars except for a few minor things that shouldnt be weight related. Its
just not right.
