Here's close enough for goverment work: Front 57.06% = 2019.92lbs, and Back 42.94% = 1520.076lbs, and grand total of 100% = 3539.996lbs. My brain dosen't go far enough to find the missing .004lbs.

It's 'cause you changed your rounding point. If you kept it to the hundredths you'd have ended up with 1520.08 + 2019.92 = 3540.

BTW, I don't think my car will ever even get down to 3540 empty. I'll be happy when my street weight gets below 4k!!!

Yea, 3540 is not bad, and prob only about 100lbs over my vette.

That's not too bad cosidering the added equipment your car is carrying. The last time I had my car on a scale it was around 3430 or so, but that was with the ol' iron block LT1, and sub with 1/3 tank of fuel.
