Not the weight that that's the problem for me, it's the fact 80% of it is in front of the front wheels. Compare where the E39 M5's engine is and then ours.

I begged to differ - e39 m5 you can through into bend side ways in the wet with 100% predictability on what the rear will do and control it. The same can not be said for rs. You through the rs into a bend and make the rear kick out I'm not brave enough to predict its outcome.

Not sure how the e39 m5 crept into topic

Why do you want the rear to kick out in the rs? If the M5 is going sideways then i'm getting futher away, no?
