A car with a 50/50 balance will have less slip angle to the front and back due to its more even weight distribution right? So in this sense wouldn't a 50/50 design achieve better handling since it wouldn't be as prone to a front/rear biased setup to oversteer/understeer?
It's not that simple. A car with 50:50 weight distribution is only balanced at constant speeds.
