Something isn't adding up...

The entire drivetrain minus the rear diff and prop shaft are well in front of the middle of the car:
Plus, the front suspension/subframe is heavier than the rear suspension/subframe. Even with the battery being movied and engine being moved, its not enough to get that much weight farther back in the car.
Subarus with the AWD you only have to add the weight of the front diff and axles (only about 50lbs total) along with the small change in engine location to compare how the weight distribution of this car works out.
Getting this chassis to 50/50 would require ADDING weight to the rear, not worth it.
