Heres what the 06GT weighs

Curb weight: 3523 lb
Weight distribution, F/R: 53.6/46.4%
Curb weight per horsepower: 11.7 lb

I would say the 05 is probably the same. Hmmm

I don't know, but the 05+ GT's in my opinion drive a lot heavier and feel big.

Im pretty sure the 05s are about 300+ pounds heavier than the 99-04 models. Yes they do feel much bigger when your sitting in them. I didnt like it because it was harder to see out the windows in it for me. I drove my friends 05 GT once. It couldnt even do a burnout because of the way the factory set up the computer. I love my 03! Almost paidoff, 6 more months!

Also, I have heard that they really dont handle any better than the 04 models. Still the same big boat plowing through the corners.....
