Need wieght percentages......

I am getting ready to purchase a Third gen camaro. I was an owner of an awesome covnertible. I need another one. I am going to run it in the 2006 Grassroots Motorsports Magizine challenge. I would like to know what the front and rear weight percentages are with a driver in the car as well as the left to right. In fact if someone has the corner wieghts of the vehicle i would be very thankful. Please return quickly because Then i will post up my quest to put the radiator in the rear of the car if the wieght percetage would help. Thanks.

I'd purchase your Camaro and then take it to a race shop that can measure the weight at each tire with you in it. I don't see how relocating a radiator to the rear would help with weight distribution as much as, say, dropping in a LS1. And especially the problem of reduced airflow that comes with a rear-mount radiator and a mess of coolant hoses that are liable to get punctured. But, weirder things have been done, and if you can get it to work, more power to you.
