Probably depends more on what type of shock absorbers you have out back. I recently came back from Chryslers@Carlisle, we had 2 full sized suit cases, an ice chest, 3 lawn chairs, a 60amp alternator (heavy) and my tool chest ALL in the trunk of my 70' Newport. I have heavy duty Monroe gas charged shocks in the rear, so although the *** end was lowered a bit, it was not that bad. I'd say weight wise it was a good 250lbs. or so, maybe a bit more. Barely noticed it.

With the 250Lb on the trunk and 4 passenger how do you feel the car? I guess my car has the factory stock shock absorbers.

How do I "feel" the car?? The car felt fine the entire trip, even with the extra weight. The 383 had no problem pulling the extra weight. I was still able to hang with all the turnpike lead foots without breaking a sweat.

I mean if the car is slow or something like that.

My car has a 360 so I guess he has no problem pulling the car with 4 passengers and 250Lb in the trunk

Don't be discouraged. Your can wake up your 360 quite nicely with the right parts.
