Isn't the max permissible written somewhere on the car? Haven't looked for it on my Vette yet, but my old car had a sticker in the door sill with tire pressures and max weight.

For my '87, the front axle weight is 1775 lbs and the rear axle weight is 1972 lbs. for a total of 3747 lbs. I believe the total cargo weight (driver, passenger, and luggage) is around 450 lbs and of that weight, the rear storage area should not hold more than 100 lbs.

IF the car hasn't been repainted with maybe a color change, there should be a door sticker that shows the shipping weights for the front axle and rear axle and a total gross weight.
