Judging the sticker on the door that has the weight, both front and rear, i have 51% front, 49% rear. now to me thats pretty dang good, but i thought that f-body's were way front heavy, so am i doing somthing wrong here? does my car really have that good weight distribution? i think there is only an 80Lb difference. while my friends 2.8L camaro has a 9LB difference front to rear. is this true or am i doing somethign wrong?

You'll have that weight ratio if the car is fully loaded. 4 adults, luggage etc.

Empty, f-bodys are very nose heavy.

My car is around 58% front and 42% rear, race ready and it's a lot lighter than a street car at 3245 pounds. I need to shave a lot more weight off the front.

Corvettes have that F/R ratio. There is no way an empty f-body does. The best I think I saw was a '92 Firehawk with the aluminum v8 and heavy ZF6. It was around 55/45.
