It was interesting reading this older thread that Geoff pointed out on the Radius Arms thread.

The common aspects being the +50% rear weight bias in most Cobras and the carrying weights. My iron block Harrison (ally heads, etc) was 1109kg with a full tank of fuel (no driver). It would interesting to see the Left Right balance on cars as well. After some limited experience with the corner weight scales, I wouldn't mind betting that there was a Right>Left variation as well on most cars, without the driver.

Mostly all with iron blocks.

Don't know if the weights include the driver though.
