    seeing as a s2k has a 50/50 and a 04 cobra has 53/47 and the new mustang has also 50/50. weight distribution is null in this argument.

    53/47 is not as close to 50/50 as it looks on paper. That said, cobra would win on most tracks.

    my G is 53/47 350z are 53/47. they handle just fine. many performance cars are slight nose heavy to help in braking and turning. and when they accelerate weight transfers to the rear getting it to the 50/50 that everyone craves.

    I'm not saying that front-biased can't handle, but really most performance cars try to have 50/50 with even higher performance cars leaning more towards 40/60 ish. You just don't want too much weight on the front when diving in to a turn, unless you like understeering.

    2007 PORSCHE 911 GT3: 38/62
    Ferrari Enzo: 43.9/56.1
    Pagani Zonda: 47/53

    you get the idea

    BTW where the hell you been man?

    but you're comparing mid/rear engine vehicles to front engine vehicles now
