center of gravity

I was wondering what the center of gravity of my car would be( how many inches above the ground). I have an 84 se, all stock.

I was just wantin to calculate the amount of weight transfer from one corner to the next in a corner.

I don't know the answer, but that's a good question!

It would be good to know where the center of mass is -
how high it is, and where it's located on the front-to-rear axis.

I doubt anyone knows the answer. If I had to guess, I would put it a few inches above eccentric centerline.

Cornerweight your car, and have them do a CG check. It'll vary from car to car. My IT racecar wont be anything near your stocker, so if If give you an answer itll be wrong for you.
