Very sorry barycenter doesn't work as english center of mass for vehicles?
I'm really amazed at how many members we have here from outside the United States. For such a relatively low volume car I think that really speaks to the appeal of these cars.
I'm not sure about other English speaking countries but in the US the term for this would be the Center of Gravity, often abbreviated as COG or CG. I've never actually seen any comparisons of the overall height and COG of the various generations of Corvettes but the C4 is definitely very low.

Oh OK, I see. I thought it was just a typo, l learned a new word.
As someone else posted it is 14". I remember reading the article many years ago that compared the CG to that of an Indy car, very impressive. I am surprised the newer models are higher, especially with the lighter weight materials, but that might actually be raising the CG. The frame and engine now being aluminum, which are lighter and down low, plus the added creature comforts up higher, and a higher roof line.

Ah ah yes here in italy we use always baricentro... For vehicles, people, builds, everything... Only planets have center of gravity, in the urban language.... Think scientists use it more frequently...
