Adding weight to one end of the car to have it more balanced is horrible idea. Regardless of whatever benefit you want to argue having 50/50 offers, the extra weight to make that happens would really hinder your braking, acceleration and handling.
I've taken 300+ lbs off of my car and a large portion of that was from the driver forward so I suspect my weight balance is even "worse" than 45/55.
That being said, there are plenty of high-end performance cars that are not 50/50 so saying "all" high end cars are 50/50 is not accurate.
Realistically, the net affect of static (Sitting still) weight balance is almost negligible on performance. What really matters is the dynamic weight balance once you start throwing the car around.
mr2envy, where are you getting this

under braking you get 5 more in the front and 5 less the back and under acceleration you get 5 more in the back and 5 less in the front so you stick and break better.
