280ZX Weight


Phantom

Recommended Posts

I got curious so I put my N/A '83 280ZX 5-spd. with 3/4 tank of gas and a 220 lb. driver on a certified scale at work today with the following results:

 

Total weight: 3,100 lbs.

Front axle: 1,540 lbs., 49.7%

Rear axle: 1,560 lbs., 50.3%

 

A full tank of gas would bias it a bit more to the rear - about 3.5 gallons less and it would be close to a near perfect 50/50. Thought some of you would find this interesting as a baseline for the conversions you've been doing.

For what it's worth, I did the same with my '77 280Z several years ago and it came out to 2,800 lbs. - without the driver and a half tank of gas. I didn't axle it then - wish I had since it's the one getting the V-8 now.
