another not on that weight distribution aside from areo influence is the fact that balance is most important when turning and when youre turning you are probably also accelerating and thats going to shift the weight back some. if you think about it they had enough room and this was designed from the ground up so this number shouldnt be an accident or a compromise
Inferior suspension design? Just because it does not have a double wishbone front but a mcfearson front does not mean it is inferior. The cayman and boxster have strut suspensions...so do most bmws...they probably went with a strut front because the engine sits so low in this car. Remember the only two cars who have a lower center of gravity are the LFA and the ferarri 458.

Oh and don't forget the cd is .27...the miata and s2000 wish they had a cd and a cog as low as the FR-S!
