Paul,

Is there a way to figure out the CG of a standard production car? I'd
like to know how low (or high) mine is.

Thanks

There are several tricks. One is to tilt it up side ways and measure
the angle just before it rolls all the way over :)

Another way is to weigh the front and rear of the car when it is
horizontal and
weigh them  again when one end is sitting on a platform three feet high.
Don't ask me to go through the math. It is late here in CA :)

Paul,

  I found a website that'll let you plug your numbers in....I love the
Internet! :)

Thanks for your time though.

Phil
