Just to break down the numbers on the screen, that’s 3380 lbs with no driver, approx 56% front / 44% rear, and a slight bias to the left side at the front end. Front/rear gets slightly better with me in it.

Pretty fun to see the mass distribution of what is essentially a factory RS Z setup, so spare in the trunk, factory-style interior (incl. carpet), console, cowl hood, spoilers, power steering and chambered exhaust, just no smog equipment.

That's about exactly right and nearly identical to mine. I took our 69 RS Z over to Ridetech and had it 4 corner scaled.
Mine with ZL2 hood, spoilers, deluxe houndstooth interior, console gauges, PS, full size spare and jack and a full tank of gas.

Left front 958
Right front 944
Left rear 748
Right rear 787
Front percentage is 55.34%
Rear percentage is 44.66%
Total weight was 3437 lbs. with no one in it.
