50/50 balance

Now I know the rx7 has a 50/50 balance. BUT! if you take out the spare tire for weight reduction does that throw off the balance. This may be a no brainer but I have no idea.

It's not a perfect weight balance any way you look at it. If you add a tank of gas, a driver, your CD collection, a 64oz slushy... it'll change the balance slightly. Does it matter? Not really.

I think it's actually 52/48. Anything under 50lbs. won't make a difference.
