Hi can anyone tell me the official weight of a V8 A9X Hatchback and also the front & rear track dimensions?
There seems to be a few figures around but I am trying to get to the source and unfortunately, Holden themselves can't help me.

Front and rear track is the same as L34. From memory, the rear track is 1443.2mm and the front is just over 1400mm. I have the actual figures here somewhere if nobody else posts them up first.

Info I have from Holden for L34 is F:1453 & R:1425. Unfortunately they don't have A9X records, they say.
If I can find some expert substantiation of your premise that the L34 & A9X are similar, it would make me very happy!

The L34 and A9X used the same sized and offset rims, same width diff (all LH - UC Toranas had the same width diff housing, including L34 and A9X) and same front discs.

The L34 did have rear drums (HQ-WB size) and the same front discs as HQ-WB and A9X.

I thought the hatch was a little heavier than the 4 door...

According to Dr Terry's book "60 Years of Holden" the hatch is 64 kg lighter than the sedan.
Typo on the sedan weight in sstorana's post. Dr Terry's book lists 1306 kg.
The track, kerb weight, rims and tyres for the L34 are identical to the A9X according to Dr Terrys "60 Years of Holden" which backs up Chopper's statement.
LH L34 Sedan:
Kerb Weight: 1306 kg
Front Track: 1470mm
Rearr Track: 1443mm
According to my notes however Dr Terrys "45 Years of Holden" listed a different figure. I do not have a copy to confirm.

I thought the same thing, I seem to remember Brock talking about when the hatch came out everyone wanted one because it looked better but was not as strong as the sedan and slightly heavier, not that Brock has never been wrong beforeI thought the hatch was a little heavier than the 4 door...

The figures I have state a rear A9X and L34 track of 1443.2mm. I have done a fair bit of research and it appears those are the correct figures. Even if it is a little out, the simple fact is the front and rear track is the same for the L34 and A9X.
