***2022 BRZ on the Vorshlag scales***
Took my car to Vorshlag tonight so they could get some measurements, look the car over, and weigh it...
2744 lbs with 1/4 tank Here's their official photos from looking it over |

Am I seeing 56% of the weight on the front end? What happened to the 53/47 distribution they've been touting?

1/4 tank of gas and no jack in the trunk. Gas tank is in the rear of the car.

They should make a 2-seat version with rear wheels shoved a good 10" forward, shorter wheelbase, lighter weight, stiffer chassis, and ~50/50 distribution... |

Does weight distribution matter as much given the placement of the drivetrain? If it was sitting higher, I would expect the car to feel more like any other FWD car. Nose heavy and prone to understeer, squat, and dive.
From my own experience, and knowing how well the car does in autocross and other events, the lower CG seems to mask those issues and the car overall feels light at the front. |

I already do that to meet weight for my time trials class! Sometimes add a stock front brake rotor on top of the spare! Still no better than ~53.5/46.5 even with 5 lb. battery, 12-lb. lighter front rotors, empty washer reservoir, and catless header (-50 lb. off the nose of the car).

The first time I drove an STI vs BRZ one after another on a frozen lake, the BRZ understeered when I carried too much speed into a corner, whereas the front of the STI was grabbing, and the car was turning in a lot more confidently. Squat/dive is also a function of spring rates, wheel base, anti-squat/anti-dive suspension geometry, etc. |
