50/50 thanks mainly to the transaxle mounted tranny.

I do not believe it is exactly 50/50. It is close but I thik it is more like 53/47. I will research ut this is just a WAG.

Edit: C&D has the C6 at 52/48

Edit: C&D has the ZO6 at 53.5/46.5

According to this, it's 50/50:

and this

Other sites I've checked say 51/49. So either way it's darn close.

When I started to align mine the car was more of a 4x4, I corner weighed it and I was 50.7/49.3. After lowering, setting rake and corner weighing, castor/camber and toe in/out, I ended 50.2/49.8 and my wedge was 50/50.

That was using scales and strings on a level platform. Hope this helps.
