Default Z06 F/R Weight Distribution?

Anyone have any information, or any estimates of the Z's front/rear weight distribution?

I'm geusstimating it at very damn near an exact 50/50 (unlike the base C6 which is closer to 52/48.
Z06 might even be slightly rear weight biased like some of the C3 Corvettes were, maybe 49/51?

Closer to 50/50 than 52/48.

some things to consider...
Battery to the rear, but replaced by dry sump oiling up front.
Carbon fiber in the front, no titanium mufflers in the back.
lighter titanium rods up front.

Not sure what the net result is, but there is a lot of shifting around front to rear, thats for sure.
