Well, I say.. Seriously, you want to maximize weight transfer you need more rear wheel bias. This is why 911's while not really great handling cars from a balance standpoint are extremely fast cars at the track. Rear wheel weight bias gives a nice advantage under braking where weight transfer is larger. The car also has brakes on all four wheels meaning that traction limitations on the front wheels are not the only force at play. The rear brakes are more useful with more rear weight and also they tend to have more rubber on RWD cars. Rear weight bias also gives an advantage on acceleration on corner exit as it allows more weight to transfer over the rear tires. The rear end being able to grip is what will allow you to get on power earlier. |
