I live in North Buffalo off of hertel ave. I picked up two 60 lb bags at home depot for a total of 120 lbs. You could see the car squat down a little when I put them in. I used two bags because I wanted 120 lbs and here is the reason. The crossfire weighs about 3,000 lbs and has 54% of its weight in the front 46% in the rear. If you do the math then 4% of 3,000 lbs is 120 lbs. So by putting 120 lbs in the trunk gives the car a 50/50 weight distribution. With the driver in it the weight bias is slightly to the rear which definetly improves the handeling in the snow. I noticed the difference right away. You wont overload the car unless you plan on driving with a passanger who weighs over 250 lbs and you are over 200 lbs yourself!!! Good luck and I will honk at you if I see you around.
