My car's configuration is close to yours, and I figured the weight was about 3500 lbs full-up (driver plus a full gas tank). Split was about 54/46--though I'm running the 16" wheels, no spacers (BTW which wheels are you using, and where'd you get the spacers?)

I'll be trimming some weight (about 40#) off the nose later this spring when I install the GT40 heads. I may try a re-weigh at that time . . . .

When I first did this (years ago now), I compared it to an '89 Mustang GT's numbers and if I remember, they were in the same neighborhood.

Best,

Steve A-
