One day I took my all-aluminium 496 out and replaced it with a cast iron 454 (Yes, Chevy). I had to raise the suspension front & rear to equal amounts to compensate.

My finding is: 50/50 either way. The "heavy" front end and pushing (understeer) is a myth. Probably tire related.

Just weigh an AUDI A6 front vs rear. It's probably 70/30 (or a Cadillac). Any eco-box (German Corsa-C, total weight 2.200lbs) weighs more in the front than a decent Cobra!
