It is 50/50 exact.

It's only 50/50 under certain circumstances. The weight of the driver, passenger, fuel load, etc all affects it. The Turbo FCs were a bit more nose heavy than the N/A versions, but not much.

The chassis though, are so well laid out that when I put the Ford small block in mine, and moved teh batery to the back, the weight bias went to 49/51 F/R, which is actually better for handling than 50/50 (a slight rear weight bias produces the best overall handling, due to weight transfer when slowing for corners...).
