'05 C230SS 6MT, 1966 Triumph TR4a IRS, Shelby Cobra 427 Supercharged
I just weighed my car today...
05 C230 Sedan Manual
3159 Lbs with about 7/8ths fuel (about 100lbs) and whatever else was in my car at the time...
47.5% front
52.5% rear...
Kinda makes me wonder as the weight is 90lbs lighter than the curb weight listed in the brochure... I think one of the scales might have been messed up though...
FL: 890 ---- FR: 610 ---- F%: 47.48
RL: 832 ---- RR: 827 ---- R%: 52.52
Total: 3159
But even if you make the FR the same as FL (3439) it becomes 51.75%F, 48.25%R... not so bad!
Don't know when I'll get a chance to measure it again...
