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
right on.  I guess I would have expected the wagon to have more of a
55/45 weight distribution, so I was expecting better balance as I know
it has an extra 150-200lbs of weight in the back opposed to the sedans.

Hope this information is helpful.

Later,
