but neither have the same effect as weight distribution.




you know what is most frustrating? finding quality discussions on vehicle dynamics online. I research constantly trying to find intelligent discussion on radical approaches to experimenting with this stuff, but if it exists, it ain't public and 90% of it is re-hashed info, some of which is often flawed or implemented out of context.



A 911 Turbo is 40/60. A maclaren P1 is 40/60.

Why did Toyota choose 53/47?

Objectively speaking, when you drive the FRS with a heavy trunk or passengers in the rear, does it not feel more responsive?

why do i even bother engaging you people
Engagement is fine but stating the weight distribution of two mid/rear engine supercars as evidence to back up your claim of adding ballast to increase performance is not an argument with ground to stand on. At least go with something comparable, like the Miata that has close to a 50/50 distribution. That is something that could be compared as evidence.
