LOL!!
ome on guys lets give him a reasonalbe answer
Look the closer to a 50/50 split you have in weight the better the car will handle. the sedan has a better split than the hatch, because there is almost nothing over the rear axle in the hatch.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

Couldn't u add weight to the back of the car to get it alittle better handling? say weld a beam somewhere in the back ..Comment

50/50 is not as important on FWD cars. Mostly because you want weight over the front wheels to help traction for turning. On RWD cars 50/50 is much more importantOriginally posted by Protoss

on FWD somehting close to a 50/50 split is better than say 70/30 split. granted you you do need weight over the drive axle, but the placement of the car's centroid is more important in a inscance of angualar acceleration (ie turing). if you can have the C of G centered between the 2 axles it allows for a better distibution of forces.
in a drag strip, and stright line performance, yes you want as much weight over your drive axle.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?
