most definitly, it effects car balance, by moving the wheel forward you effectively movethe engine back which produces a better overall balance in the car, better weight distribution etc. with less weight hanging over the front wheels, there is less mass trying to force the front of the car in a straight line when the wheels are trying to turn the car which means less undesteer. thats gotta be a good thing. i'd say that having a better balanced car will also improve braking performance because when the brakes are applied the weight wants to shift forward, with the engine effectively further back ther would be more weight over the rear wheels and therefor better braking performance. in short it's all gotta be agood thing, Holden didn't do it for no reason after all:yeah:
