strotter Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 OK, just got back from the dump, where they have a nice three-platform Toledo scale. The guy let me run the Z up on it, to check weight & distribution. Called me "sir". With me in it, and 13 gallons of gas, it was: Front: 1420 lbs | 48% Rear: 1520 lbs | 52% as driven, which is a pretty good distribution. 2940 total, battery in back, T56, SBC with iron heads & water pump in the JTR position, headers, duals, A/C w/ GM compressor, no attempt at lightening. Take my big butt and the gas out, it's 2637 or so (*please* don't do the calculation, even in your head). It still pushes a bit going into corners, but I have no rear anti-sway bar installed (nor will I, I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Wait a minute! I smell a bit of deception here. You said, "with A/C". I know for a fact that your A/C system is completely empty. Add another 2 pounds for refrigarant. Get the facts straight or don't bother posting here, BUDDY!!! And you weigh 716 pounds? Oh, wait... well, let me re-check my math.

DaleMX Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Lets see, gas weights about 6 pounds per gallon so thats about 80 lbs of gas. So you weight about 220 lbs. I hope your shoe size is larger than 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drftn280zxt Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 they've got a point. All these little things account for weight too includin tranny fluid, radiator fluid...etc. Why do you have a/c that doesn't even operate. Extra weight to pull if you don't use it.

Dan Juday Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Why do you have a/c that doesn't even operate. Extra weight to pull if you don't use it. I'm just yankin' Scott's chain. He's installing the A/C, just doesn't have it finished yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Well I cant talk, he's light years ahead of me. I'd be happy if I was just driving mine. Someday! Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
