50/50 only plows if you don't enter lightly on the brakes. What it DOES allow is more OPTIONS further into the corner. I never had any trouble with the 'vette. If you get some feed-back from the front-end...you correct it. You will NEVER get into trouble unless you do something stupid, or start poorly. With the 370Z, you can start perfect, and get to a "point of no return" very easily if you aren't thinking about things 3-steps ahead of yourself, as I detailed above. |

Your Corvette came with better tires (285F if I recall), that's why it turned. The weight distribution plays a role in how a car handles, not the only factor. Stick a set of sticky front tires and it will change the way your car feels. Rear weight distribution is always favorable for fast lap times, there is a reason why most racing series have engines in the back. It helps braking, turn in and acceleration. Is it the easiest to drive? Of course not.
Oh yeah don't listen to the BS Nissan gives you about weight distribution, they just can't do it for various reasons and it is there for marketing and fanboys. It's just a compromise in order to get the car to hit the $30K mark while being able to compete with cars 10-20K more. Quote:
