Default Z51 2 LT Weight

A couple of months ago I started a thread about renting scales. I had a couple of offers, however I ended up picking up a used set of Intercomp scales. Put the car on them today after some slight ride height alterations and this is what I came up with. Thought it might be useful information for those wondering about real world weight. This is with a full tank of gas no driver, car is a stock 2014 C7 Z51 2LT.

No it's a C7. I'll add that to the original post.

Thanks for this data point. Is your C7 and automatic or manual trans?

Perfect cross weights. How did that happen? What is done to the suspension to make it so even?

Nothing special, I adjusted ride height slightly, put the car on scales to corner balance it, and was surprised to find it dead on with no driver. When I sit in it, it's at 50.2%.

Next step is adjustable rear toe links and alignment.

Very cool. Looks like GM is on the ball with QC from their spring vendor being that just basic leveling of the car can yield such positive results
