It is. Do a little research on light, tail heavy (44%/56%) mid engine cars with positraction and you will see that right after tires using front end fuel weight to adjust the weight distribution is at the top of the list for over/under steer adjustments. While I am working on the tire and suspension solution, for now all I can control is fuel weight.
you can control tire pressures too, which is what i suggested. Yes, the Porsches are tail heavy, and very twitchy (from what ive read), but it still has to obey how a tire works.
I know you know how to handle your paticular car very well but 911 and 930 are very different creatures from the nose heavy automobiles most of us are used to driving.
This is true, ive only driven mostly front heavy cars, other than a formula ford, but that was only like for 6 runs...so it doesnt count.
Are you really trying to tell me that if I am understeering and I can reduce this by adding weight to the front of the car that I can not go through a particular radius turn faster than when the front end was plowing at lower speeds?
What is said is that a 10mph difference is CRAZY. Maybe like 2mph. You'd be amazed at how close the speeds really are. Again, this is just my opinion. But if you look at it from a physics perspective, the difference in cornering Gs is really a very little amount of velocity difference. If you could really change your speeds by 10mph, you'd be beating Danny Shields all day long.
