with chocolate sprinkles?

I wonder what the weight ditribution is now? I'm not sure what it is when it's stock but let's 60/40, wouldn't it be something like 30/70 now that he's taken all the weight out of the front and only replaced it with a small fuel tank?

No sprinkles, straight from the wang.

Eh, it's not like the engine is sitting way past the rear axles, also there are still the steering and suspension components in the front end. I'm willing to bet it's very close to 45/55. If not, better.

What's the weight distribution of an aw11? They have similar wheelbases and setups i guess.

But the engine goes from front to back and and that would weigh more than the rest of the components in the front wouldn't it. And I don't really think it's 30/70, that's was just an example asking if the back weighs more than what the front would if the engine was in the front.

The engine goes from front to middle, it's still in front of the rear axle as apposed to it being in front of the front axle which is the reason why it would have had a front bias before.

[gnx1987]

so is weight distribution based on the weight either end of the middle of the car or front and rear overhang?

[~Sp33~]

Overhang doesn't have much to do with it.

It's to do with the amount of weight, and the distance that weight is from the center of the car. The less the weight is, the further it can be from center of the car without having much of an impact, also the closer a larger weight is to the center of the car the less impact it will have with the front/back weight distribution.

The reason i talk about the engine in regard to the axles is that 100kg behind the front axle (closer to the center of the car) is going to have less impact on the cars balance, then if that same 100kgs is positioned in front of the front axle.

The more central the weight, the easier it is to rotate the car

[string]

A car rotates around the centre of mass, not the centre. The more concentrated the mass around it's centre, the easier the car is to rotate.

Is that not what i said here?

Perhaps you meant it - your makes multiple references to a centre - the centre of the wheelbase. Is a reader not to infer your previous meaning of centre when you refer to a "central" location?
