Weight distribution

Any of you guys know the front to rear weight distribution in a 1991 Z-28. In percentage. I see how BMW measures them and am just curious how close my camaro is.

I scaled my 92 Z with me in it. The front weight is 2096 lbs or 57.0 %. The rear is 1575 lbs or 42.9 %. Without me in it , it weighs 2005 lbs or 57.7 % front and 1464lbs or 42.2 % rear. 500 lbs is alot to get off the front end but it would be killer.

... that would lighten your load by about 250 lbs. Easy.
