OK here's one I haven't seen before. Where is the center of gravity located on a '94 945T, a '91 944T, and an '88 240 GL? Just got a Mohawk scissors lift (looks to be VERY well built) and lifting instructions state where to align the car's C-o-G on the lift for safety (don't want the thing tipping over for or aft, though it would be exciting). I can make an educated guess but a measurement from some ID point would be so much more accurate. Thanks...

well, i can tell you that on a 1990 740 NA, the weight distribution with no passenger, a box of tools (about 10-15lbs) in the trunk, and the factory spare donut in the trunk, the weight distribution is 3020 total, 1680 front, 1340 rear. meaning roughly 56% front, 44% rear.

i think the 900s are close to the 700s.
