F-body weight distribution? Does anyone know the weight distrubution of a 4th-gen f-body (preferrably a Camaro)? I've tried searching for the past few days, but guess what... It doesn't work.

Above and beyond removing all interior panels and brackets, using an aluminum Ultrashield seat, gutting the doors and everything under the dash and carving up the dash so that just the outer skin remains and doing the same thing to under the hood, under the nose and under the car, I removed ...
Remove the factory harness and replace it with a Painless - saves 50lbs
Aluminized exhaust tubing
all headlight related stuff
all plastic panels
all body seam filler
There are 2 heavy meta plugs under the dash pad ... gone
there is a heavy sound deadening pad that goes up the firewall ... gone
side impact beams ... gone
trimmed impact beams front and rear.
The only creature comfort is a 15lb (when full) cool suit system.
I even made the windshield guy scrape all the old putty off the frame and use 1/2 as much as he normally does.
