From Cobb Tuning, not very encouraging for people who were considering an EvoX for competition.

Not only is is a fat lil' piggy, it's still got a lot of weight over the front wheels:

I think most ppl knew the car weighs that. It was in the spec sheets that I posted two months ago. And 56% at the front seems acceptable given its a front engine car.

:+1:

Honestly, in this type of car, you want the weight somewhat front biased since the drivetrain is front biased.

Thats heavier than I expected. 1595kgs. Moves very well for a heavier car.

i would think 57% in the front isnt all that bad.

for a front engine AWD car, I think it is pretty impressive.

i wonder how much weight could be striped from the car, if you wanted to go down that rout.

Not a big deal if you look at the performance #'s. She's got the minerals. Tuning is also looking quite good if you ask me.

I'm a native Texan but my ancestry is straight English so I'll say what I want.

Thanks.
