Just because you have x:y distribution means f**k all. It is a static measurement but I know of very few people who sit in their stationary car saying to themselves "whoooa, isn't the mass distribution great!".

It means a lot to the car. They don't just chuck an engine in and away they go. They do multiple tests on different weight distributions.
Due to the low and so far back boxer engine, 53/47 must have been optimal for it's handling.
