So the key to proper weight distribution is to always have a passenger with you?
As suggested above, put passenger in the trunk! Under the spare tire!

53:47 is *far* from "optimum" for an FR sports/sporty car, and they couldn't even achieve that.

Weight distribution is the same 55F/45R as the last-gen. Not great...
