2015 Corvette C7 Z06 weight distribution failure- another myth busted and another buyer penis shrinker

Back in July 2014, this blog pointed the impossibility of the newest Corvette Z06 ability to achieve not just rear bias but even a 50/50 weight distribution which has been continuously (and fraudulently) claimed by +General Motors  marketing bullshit artists.  As before, it should be reiterated that the 50/50 claim became a standard issue for Corvette since C5 was released. 

+Tadge Juechter had been very vocal repeating the same old song over and over and made a point of actually insinuating that the newest Z06 will be rear biased, just like a proper mid engine car would be (this is another GM shtick pretending the semi aft front axle engine location amounts to mid engine car).

Well, it appears that the fat lady sang and the reality of weight distribution is in.  Surprise surprise, the marketing fiction once again, failed to materialize in real life.

As with the sagging performance figures, this is another humiliation to the newest Z06 and another failure to distinguish itself in a better way from the C6 ZR1 that had almost identical front bias.  What makes this failure even more pathetic is the fact that the new transmission and differential cooling was moved to the rear while the last ZR1 Corvette used a very traditional front mounted layout.

At this rate, considering the hampered performance fiasco of the new porker, the buyers will not need a magnifying glass but a microscope to locate their former manhood, trying to keep up with old age induced frequent urination urges.

Once again, the GM kool aid can only go so far before reality kicks in...  Apparently Top Gear was right on the money classifying this nose heavy overheating at will porker as another muscle car.

Now, this result is with 3/4 full fuel tanks.  What would happen when the tanks are close to being empty?  Another crash on Nurburgring?
