Scaling

who has scaled their car?? what was the total/cross weights?? just curious to see what you guys got for weight and distribution.
oh mine first,
total with driver (my fat ***)- 2722
distribution- 58% front 42% rear
cross weights- LF/RR 51% RF/LR 49%
center of gravity- 43" from front axle
Height center of gravity- 13.33" off the ground

this was with stock wheels (my race wheels are lighter) and the stock seat (have a corbeau forza coming friday), and with like an 8th tank of gas

Talk to your local SCCA... if they do Club racing then they have a set of scales. (Required for Impound) you may be able to Borrow them or at least use them. I know Our region has a set, but they are broken right now.
