I doubt that S4 was lighter Richdip, I browsed a lot of papers before I entered this value.
However thats only papers, I found a number of inaccuracies in them to be honest.
So my question is did You weigh your car ? Maybe You can give more accurate mass balance too ?
It would be very helpful if You might have a bit of free time to check this out.

Anyway its puzzling, I have few road tests from old magazines (Im writing about 1st gen. this time) and in all them mass balance is different, whats more inverse than proven by the user.

So help me please are we talking about F/R: 48.7/51.3% or 51.3/48.7% ? I am lost in this...
