You are close with the engine's center of mass, but this doesn't make every front-engine car a front-mid-engine car. If the entire engine is in front of the front axle how in heck its center of mass goes behind? I think Dan that it'll be better to drive and win trophies , than trying to offend engineering definitions and talking about marketing b.s.
