Who was moving battery to back of car?

I wouldn't reccommend it. I've seen a lot of comments on this site in the past few days talking about weight reduction and distribution. I agree with the reduction part, but the distribution part is just crazy. Our car comes setup 62/38 Front/rear. Correct me someone if those #'s are wrong. The main reason you don't want to equal our car out 50/50 is obvious... FWD You will lose traction and any chance of a good launch. You can take weight out of the front to make your car faster or handle better but don't move it into the back. The weight transfer will do several things to your car. Loss of traction, increase in torque steer, make initial turn in worse, hydroplane, etc... Our car was setup the way it is for a reason. It is not mid or rear engine. It is not RWD or AWd. Therefore I do not recommend any substantial weight reallocation.
