Googling reveals some of the more high end offerings managed a rearward bias like the early Viper and LFA but that only adds fuel to the fire imo.
I've seen the S2000 advertised as 50/50, 49/51, and 48/52...... not really sure what's actually true. Probably depends on driver and how much fuel is in the tank.

Non-production cars can do much better though. Supposedly Mad Mike Whiddett's 4 rotor NC Miata has significantly rear biased weight distribution... pretty awesome.
