S12OC UK Forum - Weight distribution and ratios

Post your S12's weight. Front. Rear. Whole.
After you do that, post up what is with you S12: mods or weight reduction.
Gas liquid weight: approx 8.18lbs per gallon.

You can do this by going to a weigh station after hours. No one goes there but the scales are usually left on. At least up here in Wa.

*These weights are subject to 5lbs possible difference above or below. But to help eliminate that variable, both Randy and I jumped on the scale separately without cars to see how accurate it was, and they were accurate to our personal weights. We will be doing these weights one more time with the RBS12 later this week to make sure of the numbers.
