I hate when people yap about 50/50. It's not ideal.

 

I've heard of 130, not 150 though.

 

BMW says it is. But that does not matter, The S2K is 49%frt-51%back
I belive that is ideal

 

Ideal weight bias is up to the driver...

 

50/50 is pretty much the ideal weight distribution...hints that is what race cars aim for, well one's that have to turn in all directions

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

Actually alot of race cars have rear-weight bias, especially highpowered ones. But like I said earlier, it really depends on the driver. Formula cars actually have weights added to bring the car up to regulation. The weights can be placed anywhere the driver desires. One driver may have 50/50. Another may decide something like 40/60 is good for him.

Ferrari seems to think 45/55 is perfect

used on a course, i would think if you broke hard weight would transfer from rear to front. sorta like the 350z. when explained to me, the weight transfered from rear to front making it 50/50.

 

Sorta...that's actually a good way to spin out depending how much you are turning in rear weight bias car. You actually when going around a corner want to get on the accelerator and make the weight transfer something like 35/65 if you have a car that is 40/60 at a stop. The reasoning is because you have more weight in the back, you need to press more of it to the ground. It's called dynamic balancing. So probably you'll want to trailbrake less, and get on the throttle earlier. Especially with high power cars, exit speed is far more important than actual cornering speed.

 

That car came through our shop. It's alright, nothing special if you ask me. Definetly not worth the money he is asking in my opinion.
