Don't know the exact figures but the Vette has always had better weight dist. Look at where the engine is in relation to the front axle. It is much further behind than a F body car. It would be interesting to know what the difference is. My brother in law has spent a fortune in tryingto get his 69 Camaro to handle well. He drives my car and is always impressed by how well it handles. I only have slight mods to mine.
