What does it really weigh
This weekend I had the opportunity to put my Z on a set of scales. The actual numbers I got were very close to the factory specs. The car had all the loose items removed. The spare was still in place and the gas tank was full. These numbers are with me (150 lbs.) in the drivers seat.
LF - 918. RF - 855
LR - 777. RR - 809
Total = 3359
That comes out just a hair better than the predicted Front/Rear - 53% / 47% weight distribution. More important numbers are the cross readings. (LF + RRand RF + LR) This gives some indication on how the car turns and rotates. My totals are 1727 on the left and 1632. Less than 100 lbs on a car that weighs a ton and a half is very good.

Yeah I am well aware of the truck stop thing, but he used corner scales, which give you A LOT more accurate numbers and a lot more information like weight distribution. I just want them to dial in my suspension so there is equal weight on all 4 corners.
