Okay, just got back from Raceware Motorsports, a race-prep shop in Bellevue=
 and had my car corner-weighed on thier scale.  Drumroll please...  my 1995=
 S6 Avant tipped the scales at 4,094 lbs (with driver)!

Here's the specs:

Factory weight:    3,924 lbs (Audi published spec)

Scale weight of car (with driver: 150 lbs in driver's seat):
Half tank of gas (exactly) and spare tire in car (as that's how it will be =
on a daily basis)

Front:                         2,339
Rear:                          1,755
Gross Weight:             4,094

Cross Weight:            2,018 (49.2%)

Front:                        57.1%
Rear:                         42.9%

Left:                          51.2%
Right:                        48.8%

LF            1,207                RF        1,131
LR              886                RR           869


Pretty much in line with my expectations and gross weight number looks righ=
t on.  I guess I would have expected the wagon to have more of a 55/45 weig=
ht distribution, so I was expecting better balance as I know it has an extr=
a 150-200lbs of weight in the back opposed to the sedans.

Hope this information is helpful.

Later,
