Default F/R weight ratio is 58/42 w/ full tank and me in car, total 3800 lbs. What's your weight & ratio

Specs: 2000 S4 6spd, non sunroof, full size spare, stock wheels.

Here are things that have changed the weight of my car:
Custom mandrel 3" exhaust
26lb Odyssey battery in trunk
DTS
200lb driver (I am a skinny 200lbs at 6'7, so don't even suggest that I lose weight)

Future plans include lighter wheels, lighter front brakes, and maybe CF hood and lighter seats (GT3?)

I always like to weigh my car with a full tank, as i don't like to guess its weight wet/dry, etc...

Default Im 5'10 and 180. average I guess. Im not about to start dieting. For those . .

that havent done it yet and still run a stock exhaust, take out the resonator. That thing must be 20lbs or so. I would have loved to have a non-sunroof car BTW.

Sunroof reduces headroom in the S4, so he made the right choice

I weigh about 140. And you'd think my FATS times would be quicker!

Default Usually 60/40 @ race weight. Last weekend the car was 59/41 @ race weight.

race weight usually means no fuel and no driver, but I had a few gallons in the tank. I haven't ever scaled the car with a full tank. No sunroof here either.
