Notes:
- -1990 Town Car, and -91 CV/GM had a 5.0l or 5.8l engine
- 1986+ Use SEFI, which brought the curb weights up to 3700+
- 92-94 CV and GMQ had an aluminum hood only
- 95-97 CV and GMQ had aluminum hood and decklids.
- -1995 4.6ls had an aluminum intake, 96+ composite.
- The composite manifold is slightly lighter
- 1997 models were heavily decontented - potential weight savings :P
- 98-02 Town Cars made use of aluminum hood and decklids, hence the comparable weight to the 98-02 CV/GMs despite 3" additional wheelbase length
- 98+ CV/GM have steel hood and decklid
- 03+ panthers have a heavier, revised frame
- 03-04 Marauders are slightly heavier than the 03+ CV/GM due to the DOHC engine, and misc trim
- 03+ Town Cars have a steel hood and decklid, causing the more drastic weight difference between 98-02 and 03+ TC vs 98-02 and 03+ CV/GM
