The 350z and 370z were never marketed as having 50/50 weight distribution. The 370z is like 54/46 without driver, I believe. They have marketing about this saying that it's forward to allow the weight to shift correctly to give better balance/stability under load, but it's mostly BS.....

Not sure about the RX8, but I know the RX7 and S2000 were specifically marketed as having 50/50 weight distribution.
