I was wondering about front and rear weight balance. The ideal front and rear balance is 50/50. I was woundering how this might be obtained in a muscle car. In the street rod maket people put rear mounted vette transmissions in rods, but Ive yet to see one in a muscle car? Also I guess you could run this setup with an aluminum small block in the front with a rear mounted vette tranny. Does anyone know the original distribution for a 69 SS Camaro??? Maybe like 60/40 dunno??? How much does a ford 9 inch weigh compaired to small block???
Interesting to note- a Ferrari Enzo with a rear mounted V-12 only has a 45- 55 front/rear distribution, seems crazy. Vette has 50-50 dispite front engine... Cool huh??? It's also interesting to note that the new vette set track numbers in Germany beter than Porsche, Lambo and Ferrari. I saw it a few mo.'s ago in Road and track or mabe it was motor trend, but it had like the 2nd best lap time ever recorded at (forgive the spelling (neurinburg???) I was surprised now Im wondering does anyone know anything about how I might get 50/50 in a 69 Camaro, or close to it? :drive1: :drive2:
