Ahh, but what happens then if you buy the car for performance?  You dont 
get the ultimate performer and you compromise.  No sedan is the ultimate 
performer.  There is a reason why the fastest cars in the world are not 
sedans...

You have to be kidding.  No matter where you put the weight, the weight 
and its inertia are there.  You cant tell me that it is as easy to turn a 
4000lb car as it is a 2500 lb car, no matter that weight distribution.  
This is physics that is not just a theory. Come on...
