OK. Here you go. We've had many, many discussions on this forum about the effects on weight of swapping your flat 6 for an LS1. Herewith presented for the first time anywhere is a before and after scale picture.

This is the data from before the flat 6 was pulled.

2566 Total

LF 481 RF 487
LR 804 RR 797

F/R Bias 37.6/62.3%

Gas on E, no Driver, Oil Full.



And here's the after data - gas tank is full for this one.

2578 Total

LF 458 RF 466
LR 839 RR 815

F/R Bias 35.8/64.2%



Based on a wheelbase of 89.4" the cg moved rearwards 1.5".

Also note that an RSR coilover conversion and a Boxster brake conversion was also performed on the car between the before and after weights.

There you go. The real data. Let the debate begin. My work here is done.
