Aspire weight



Talk about a lead sled.  The green machine or as the kids call it Freddy
Ford is a bit of a pig.  It weighs 3500 pounds with me in it.  1840 front
1600 rear.  That is from a dump scale.  I think it's right at least on the
gross weight.  I calculated 3300 curb weight.  Take 250 my weight from 3500
that and that is 3250.  Not bad for an educated guess.  There is a few
pounds missing in the front to rear and it might be because the car is high
in the back and low in the front.   The surface seemed level at the scale.
I am concerned about the lightness of the rear.  It has 800 pounds behind
and in front of the rear axle.  If I raise the front a bit might this change
the front to rear weight ratio?  A little confused because the front and
rear weights don't add up right.  Lawrence Rhodes...
