C3 Front/Rear weight ratio
Is the front/rear weight ratio of the C3 60/40? Having a debate at work on this and can't seem to find the actual specification. So, I thought I would jump over from the C5 forum and ask the experts. :auto:
Thanks. :thumbs:

I believe the front to rear weight ratio for a small block C3 is 48/52 respectively. I cant remember where ive read it though.
