Default C6Z06 corner weights?

Anybody corner weight their C6? What numbers were you seeing? (Engineering curiosity on my part.)

Thanks.

Default

F 1683lbs 50.3%
R 1660lbs 49.7%

Total 3343 with 200lbs of ballast for driver. Take away driver and 3143lbs.

Car stock 2006 Z06 with OEM rims and Hoosier R6.

Since this measurement, I have lost the heavy stock seat, cats, mufflers, and have a slightly lighter BBK. Have not done another corner weight, but I estimate another 70-100lbs in reduction. You should see how heavy the stock exhaust is with those stupid flippers in the tail pipes, must have saved 60lbs easy just right there...it is probably closer to 50/50 now.
