That's a general weight. Pretty accurate though.
My information is a four corner weight balance. Within 1 lb total weight.
This way you can see how removing, adding, and moving parts from different areas changes the overall balance of the car.
Like I said I am a road racing/auto cross guy.
For autocross the best weight balanced setup was Optima in the trunk & normal street trim with a full tank of fuel.
The fuel cell sits at the bottom of the car lowering the center of gravity. Also it is slightly offset to the passengers side to help offset the driver's weight.
It you alter the seating position like I described the weight balance is the best I could get from any setup.
Weight: ~3230lbs
Left: 50.9%
Right: 49.1%
Front: 60.3%
Rear: 39.7%
RL to FR: 49.7%
FL to RR: 50.3%
That's very good weight balance for a FWD car with an above average weight driver.
To be honest I am thinking about weighing my car backwards in the garage to see how level the floor was.
I was level using a 2' carpentry level and water pools on the floor but it would be good to know. I'm just waiting until I refill the tank so it's the same base weight. (I'll weigh it in normal street trim to maintain accuracy & ride height)
Also I plan to weight the wife's Z24 just for fun.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
