Weight distribution of 2015 Corvette C7 Z06

Since the car is at the minimum, 100 pounds heavier than the base Stingray and very likely double of that, how is the weight distribution of this porker going add up to the magical 50/50?

The majority of weight will be added up front, including all the supercharger plumbing, heat exchanger and the supercharger itself.  Since the base car is supposedly 50/50  will +Tadge Juechter perform the magic act himself or will the bullshit ritual of guessing the weight distribution just magically appear in sales brochure?

For the base car, the +General Motors information regarding weight distribution showed up well ahead of actual weight being disclosed.  The 50/50 remains constant for the base car, regardless of transmission and Z51 option presence or absence.

How is this magic going to work again, accounting for transmission choice and convertible vs. coupe variants?  Considering that Juechter still suffers from amnesia regarding Stingray top speed, drag coefficient and Nurburgring lap time, he most likely will suffer from identical case of amnesia explaining the true phenomenon of Corvette 50/50 weight distribution.
