Default '07 C6 Z51 Scale/Alignment results

In preparation for upcoming HPDE's and to correct the factory alignment, I had a local race chassis shop scale and align my 2007 C6 Z51.

The results were:
LF RF
--- ---
907 840

LR RR
--- ---
888 835

Cross Weight ended up at 50.1/49.9% from a starting point of 46.8/53.2%.

The final alignment settings were -1.3/-0.9 Camber F/R, 7 Caster, and +1/8"/-1/16" Toe F/R.

The rear camber of 0.9 is ugly. If it's -0.9 although you'll find that those settings are still pretty mild.

Have fun

I'm -1.1 F / -0.9 R on my '06 Z51 ... it may be mild but it works pretty well on the stock Supercars...

400lbs difference between the two. I hope some of that is driver and fuel. :-)

Surely a C6 Z51 can't weigh 3470 without a driver and/or nearly full tank of fuel.

Obviously the weights I posted are with driver. Also a little less than a half tank of fuel.
