Without corner scale weights, none of this is relevant... I agree with Peejay on this one.

The last time I weighed my car it was 50lb rear-heavy. This is with the +1 front wheelbase and the rear mounted battery and a trailer hitch. Oh and a bunch of tools and a jack in the back because I forgot to take it out before going to the dragstrip.

And this with me in it, and the driver sits mostly over the rear wheels, so...?

(It was 1300 front, 2650 total)
