 Ron Earp can comment on the corner weights of his ITS car, but in Solo I trim my car weighed in at Roebling Road ~2,150lbs.  According to the JH shop manual, shipping weight is 2,036lbs, kerb 2,116lbs w/ chrome bumpers & 2,340lbs w/ 5mph bumpers.

Someone else can help with the acutal acronyms, but my understanding is that the GVWR refers to the maximum weight of the car loaded up with passangers and their gear.  ~650lbs would be about right for 2 adults and a full trunk.  My understanding is this figure is more for tax purposes and DOT regulations than actual curb weight.

The GAWR looks to be the total amount of passangers, their gear and maybe a small trailer.

Someone please fill-in the blanks!
