Saff Cossie weight split?

Any ideas of the weight distribution of a RWD Saff?

Really?? That's nearly spot on, expected it to be worse than that.

Yes, that's from the original Autocar road test. Roughly the same weight split as the E30 M3 ( 51.4 F/48.6 R ) of the time - BMW do go on about their 50:50 weight split whereas Ford didn't.

If you relocated the battery to the boot you could change that as well
