So it's officially 2,762 lbs. and 55 F/45 R weight distribution. Didn't they state 53 f/47 r before? Or am I mistaken?

This has been on Subaru's site for a week or so. It's just the dynamic version of the old brochure from auto shows and the PDF was posted on Subaru.com a long time ago (months ago) before being replaced by the one with more specs.

This dynamic brochure is somewhat of a backwards step IMO since it removed the brochure with more info.

I'm guessing there will be a real final one later on, closer to release.

It's always been 55/45 without passengers, 53/47 with two front seat passengers.

Well it would technically depend on the weight of your passengers and their distance from the CG. Since it appears the CG (center of gravity) is forward of the passengers (given two "standard" passengers moves the distribution back) the more you weigh the further back the distribution goes.

Also, taking the spare tire out will move the distribution forward, just FYI for those considering removing it for track day. Since its pretty far back, it has a disportional effect on the balance for its weight. If you want 50/50 you'll need more weight in the back, not less.

Anybody know where the CG is supposed to be on the empty car with full fuel?

(and yes, I realize removing the spare is about weight and power ratio, not distribution, but don't forget it does affect it and may actually be why they gave us a spare rather than a a can of flat-fix like they do in a Camaro)
