Default Corner weighed the Z06 today

This was done with 1/4 tank of gas & 17" CCW rear wheels with 335/30 Hoosier drag radials. Not bad considering the Procharger.

Or he could just drive out to lunch, get on it a few times, head back after he burned off a few pounds of fuel and get the 3,09Xlb photo.

The overall weight may not be so bad, but the cross weighting is WAY off. It is over 75 pounds off and should be under 25.

I built a scale and installed four level pads on my garage floor (shot them in with a transit).

It's easy to adjust corner balance using the ride height bolts. Back them out to decrease force, run them in to increase force at a given corner. With my car up on four identical boxes sitting on the level pads (do not trust that your garage floor is flat) I use a floor jack and 2x4 to unload the spring. You can turn the ride height screws with your fingers this way.

Procharger sits on the right side. The scale reads left to right, not top to bottom.
