200, huh? Time to lay off those burritos, dude. You're at 206 today.

Thanks for posting some hard numbers. Observations:
- 60/40 weight distribution empty, just as the literature says.
- Adding a good-sized driver hardly changes the weight distribution (0.4%). Front seats must be pretty close to the center of gravity?
- Corner weights (LF + RR, RF + LR) are within five pounds empty, nineteen pounds with driver. Sounds pretty good, but I haven't done much corner weighting. Is that good?
