How does this car achieve a near 50 50 weight distribution with almost all of the heavy stuff at or in front of the front wheels? Where does the weight supported by the rear suspension come from?

most of the weight is structural in the rear
even though the engine and transmission are mounted up front
the engine and transmission is mostly alloy, other than the gears/clutch and a few other mis things, here's the corner weight of the frs/brz/gt86
