Superbeetle Weight Distribution Cornerweighted?
Does anyone know what the stock (or close) Weight Distribution is?
If it's a non stock what mods are done? Has anyone ever had their cars cornerweighted? What were the results? Mods? |

I have read it somewhere a few times that the average weight bias is 40% front and 60% rear.

I have read that too, lots in my work with FWD cars..
I'm wondering about the beetle though. I don't think the engineers would have cared what the weight dist. is; given the cars point and purpose. Any ideas? |

Hi
You jsut need to see where the jack points are to see the centre of the cars weight is. Steve C

Hi
Those little square things under the running boards, just in front of the rear wheel. When you jack a bug up there both the wheels on the one side will lift up. This shows how far rearward the weight distribution is. I know 50/50 would be ideal, but bugs have great success with their less than ideal weight distribution in all sorts of motorsport. Corner weighting a car can really make a difference. Steve C
