Yeah, Ive heard that before but the Hyundai Accent GT GT= Grand Touring, then you think Hyundai+GT= So I was just asking, I figured a mid engine car should at least be close to a 50/50 weight distribution.

44/56 is the 2nd gen MR2's distribution.

Regardless, I think that is ahighly overated number to follow.... as soon as you load the suspension (turning, braking accelerating) the weight bias of the car changes dramatically front-to-back and side-to-side.

Less on a mid engine since the polar weight is much less than other cars with near 50/50 weight distribution such as a front engine rwd, but I do agree people put too much stock into numbers rather than feel and whether those numbers matter much...especially for street use which is where most MR2s or any car will end of 99% of the time.
