51/49 weight ratio

Is that taken with a full tank of fuel, 5 quarts of oil in the engine, two gallons of coolant, and a battery or is that taken as it rolled off the line, completely empty and dry?

Spare tire and jack?

Not sure about fuel level, but eveything else should be included in the spec.

Speaking of jacks,if your lucky enough to find one,get an FC jack from the wrecking yards.They are super light,German made, aluminum units that look just like the standard steel scissor jacks,but probably weigh less than a pound or so.

Eh...,I just cut a little slot in the top of the jack for the hold down bail and trimmed the foot.Fits fine now and still holds my car up.
