No, you're oversimplifying. From my Google search it seems the AE86 had a 53/47 distribution, curiously identical to the leaked spec sheet. What's important are the wheel rates versus corner weights versus tire grip versus powertrain torque available. Of course, that ratio will change depending on application. With drifting, you want less grip and more powertrain torque in the rear end than the front proportional to the cars' weight distribution. Of course, Scandinavian flicks with huge e-brake levers and tons of driver experience helps compensate for any inadequacies the car setup may have.
