Weight distribution on GT350?

[06mach1]

Does anyone know the weight distribution, front to rear on the GT350? Or how about a regular GT?

Interested in knowing this as well....... Not sure when I'll get mine scaled.

I read that the Road and Track competition said it was 54F/46R

Isn't that the same as the S197 V8 cars?

Yes it is. I thought it would be closer to neutral with the tire tread width being so similar front to rear. Will be nice to get a second source to confirm.

Hmm I hoped it would be better. My iron block GT500 was 55/45 and I thought the Boss was 53/47. I had it to 52/48 with my battery relocation, hood, AC delete, aluminum DS and adding back the oil cooler and larger radiator. Isn't the IRS part of the weight increase too?

Yes the IRS is heavier.

Vorshlag got these measurements, including 101 lbs of fuel load (fully fueled):

Also here is a base GT w/ almost zero fuel:

What's up with the right front? Battery? Compensation for driver weight?

Which car/options are those weights for?

This is for a 2015 GT350 track pack car.

Both FR and RL look high. Are we sure the scales were level?

Interesting, the second car has almost perfect cross weight, the other 2 are off by 200 lbs+. Looks like they weighed the second car in their shop -- probably taking the time to level.

Wow pretty nose heavy at 55/45. Might be a consideration for maintaining staggered tires front/rear to avoid becoming a top.

Yes -- The GT350 with a full tank of gas was 53.7/46.3.

I'm guessing not far off the Boss before battery relocation, low weight radiator support, A/C removal, Tiger hood install....
