Sounds good. FRC's are about 100 lbs less and gas weighs 6 lbs a gal, so a 120 lbs difference between empty and full.

3200 lbs never really meant alot to me until I weighed my old truck in at the local landfill during my last spring cleaning... 6100 lbs for my 'big old' 79 Chevy 4x4. Suddenly my little roadster is feeling like quite the go kart after seeing that.

My '98 coupe weighs 3164 on digital scales, I think it had 49% front and 51% rear weight distribution. That is with a half tank of gas.
