If you truly feel the need to add weight for traction then do NOT just throw the weight in the trunk.
This increases weight on the rear wheels but ALSO increases polar momentum in the most efficient way possible.
Once the car starts to spin, it is HARDER to get it back under control.

So if you feel that you MUST add weight, then add it to the back seat where it increases total car weight, but does not disproportionately increase polar moment.
