50-50 Weight Distrubition

[RiftHunter4]

Are there any bodies that actually let you accomplish this without a tiny engine? I've gotten close, but actually hitting 50/50 seems pretty hard in this game.

usually weight distribution is affected by how heavy portions of the car are, so if you made the front lighter and rhe rear heavier or vice versa you'd get closer to 50/50.

mid engine cars have good weight distribution, try that

I've made a ton of mid-engine cars, but they rarely get close to 50/50. It's usually 40/60.

There's a few, but the only one I remember off hand is the mid 60's corvette one.

There really needs to be a way to adjust weight distribution. Maybe like adding weights to the vehicle or something. I've gotten close-ish but never spot on.

In real life they achieve it by shifting positions components around like mounting radiators at the front or rear or moving the battery. Sometimes they'll design the whole chassis around it.

It'd be nice if there was a slider to tell the engineers where you want the weight. I'm thinking a slider like with the AWD power split, but for weight distro. The engineers would then try to get close to that in chassis building process. The downside would be increased engineering cost. Maybe have Chassis Tech affect how much weight can be shifted.

That's actually a really good idea. It makes complete sense and would actually allow for more properly sporty cars to be built.

One minor detail when you look at many sports cars, you'll see the front brake calipers facing towards the rear, and the rear calipers facing towards the front. One of those aforementioned weight distribution methods.
