Pointless for a road car.

Derek (Abshocks) noted he is not keen on corner weighting Chims as it upsets the ride height which he says is more important. By all means discuss it with him, he knows his stuff

If you disagree don't argue with me.

Not really because there is 80-120kg of ballast sitting in the driver's seat that really upsets the car's balance and ride hights... Corner weighting or to be more precise crossweighting compensates for this large imbalance.

The fuel tank is central and with the baffling in the tank to ensure the fuel doesn't move that much so that the pickup is exposed and causes fuel starvation its weight is pretty much central.

No measurement at all is pointless... It all depends on how you interpret and use the information. Even if it just encourages you to diet it would be tops IMHO..
