That's what the SAE papers say as well IIRC, although that's curb 
weight distribution, as I remember, I think.    When carrying a 
compliment of passengers and a tank of fuel, the papers claim a 
weight distribution that approaches 50-50.

Somebody with a set of SAE papers check my stats just to be sure... 
I'm at work so my SAE stuff is on the book shelf at the house, and 
I've scrued up some facts a time or three as of late, scared to say 
anything about anything unless I can back it up properly...  ;)
