noooooooo, as you can see from my post above giving exact numbers, even when you plop almost
two hundred pounds in the driver's seat, only one pound goes to the opposite side front wheel. I corner weight my car, and measure it both with me in and out of the car. It would be stupid to place a weight in your car, like a battery, without knowing what your distribution is before you choose where to place it. You might be making a small problem bigger by placing it in the wrong spot. Plus it will make getting the cross weight at 50%, and maintaining a nice stance, all the more harder.
But, to be honest with you, if you're not driving car ridiculously hard to begin with, it probably doesn't matter anyway.
