Most of these cars weight about the same so I have often wondered why manufacturers vary so much. I believe Hurricane and FF are on the high side for their solid axle cars, which is unsprung weight. IRS usually are heavier to support that rear IRS unit. But since a solid axle is not supported by the springs they are usually lighter. Could be that some manufactures put heavier springs in to keep from rubbing the fenders without bump stops.
