it was a nova/corsa driver wasnt it that had worked out that by folding down his rear seats it lowered the centre of gravity allowing for improved handling
technically the theory would be correct but in reality it would make no noticable difference .

his theory was (part of anyway) that if you folded the seat down you increase the area on which the weight and force of the seat exerts, and therefore reduce the force and the effect on the cars handling
proper clueless moron and suprisingly, it was on a vauxhall forum
