Here's my base C6 at Daytona 2 weeks ago on the scales.

I have full exhaust, moved the battery to the right rear, and a PFADT roll bar.

Here's how it balances without doing anything at all as far as tweaking.

Almost perfect! I know, once I sit my 200lbs in the drivers seat it all goes to hell.

But it looks good on paper!

That looks great!!

The left side is 79 lbs less than the right, so when you sit in the driver's seat it will probably be very close to even corner weighting all around - maybe slightly heavier to the left side, but I bet not by much.

How much gas was in it?

Can't remember how much gas....maybe a 1/2 tank.

Isn't that a little high for a stock C6? Did you do anything to add weight to it?

I though the base C6s were closer to 3200~lbs

Headers saved about 30 lbs....but then roll bar added about 40lbs. Also added spare tire mount...about 5 lbs....and 5 lbs wire for battery relocation. NPP mufflers added.

So only about 20lbs over stock....i had about 20lbs in clothes and tools.

Pfadt sway bars are about 10lbs lighter tham stock.

So overall...didnt change weight much from stock.

Okay, thank you. I just thought the car's curb weight from the factory was lower than that for some reason.

Overall, nice weight distribution. Once you sit in it, it should even out the side to side weight distribution as well.

Z06 curb weight is lower but this is a base coupe the OP posted about.

Below is my 2006 C6 Z06 on that same scale a couple years ago. That was with about 5/8 tank of gas, and I was not in the car. This scale is in the NASCAR tech shed, so I assume it's maintained and calibrated regularly:




You can see that the order of the weights is different from the order in the picture in the original post above that was taken this month - the rear weights are swapped.

Here's my car on the scale again one year ago - about same amount of fuel and same weight:





Here's a picture of my buddy's C5 Z06 at the event one year ago last Dec - I think with about 1/2 tank:

My base coupe on the scales is 3110 lbs 1/2 tank of gas.

Headers, Kirkey Intermediate Road race seats, Deka ATV battery, Corsair CCW 18x10s and 18x11s with 295 & 315 Hoosier R6s (no heavy runflats).

Damn, C6s are pigs!

Mine was 3090 with a full tank of gas, air pump delete, but had an air to air oil cooler.
