50/50 weight distribution

[The General]

So my teacher in physics today was talking about RWD and how you add weight to the back of trucks and such, to get more traction cause of weight. I had to bring up the fact that I thought that most cars that are RWD today and pretty much through the 90's ie: 240sx, 180sx, all bmws, is300's, rx7, rx8, s2000 all strive for a 50/50 weight dis and come close to it. He wanted me to bring in an article or list of cars that are close or exactally on it. So I was wondering if you guys could post up some exact, by fact weight distributions of RWD cars from the 90's up

50/50 weight distribution is better for handling, but not necessarily straight-line acceleration.

I noticed some of the new dodge ram quad cabs have matching weight ratings on their front and rear axles...

haha I know that, not to be mean, but that has nothing to do with what I was saying, but your right. Im trying to come up with a list before tomorrow I hope

Look into FD Rx-7 articles. For what I remember, that's a huge deal with that car which makes it arguabely one of Japan's best handling cars.

haha, guys I dont want a suggestion for a car to buy, I need a list of cars with a 50/50 or close to it weight distribution.

LOL, are you trying to get mx-er's to do your homework? If they point you in a direction.. say thank you and go look.

Have you heard of this website called Google (http://google.com) - you should try it sometime...

You want a list or facts aboutt 50/50 weight distribution?

idk...

[The General]

so you want me to look up every car from the 90s and up that is RWD? I didnt want to have to go through all that trouble, just wanted a list, next stop GT4

[ElectricEnergy]

Well apparently you wanted us to look up every car thats rwd with a 50/50 weight distribution. :p

I would just look up some of the better sports cars and look for specifications on their weight distribution.

[The General]

haha thats too much work for me haha

[fowljesse]

How about google?
