FMR isn't exactly MR

We all wish that's the case ... but an MR car behaves VERY differently when there is almost no weight in the front when you are trying to go into a corner.

Generally ideal weight distribution for:

FR ~60/40
FMR ~50/50
MR ~40/60

Give or take 3% here and there.

 

Detonator, do you by chance live in Florence and is your name Kiet? I swear you remind me of someone I know.

 

FMR cars my ass. Wikipedia is defining a FMR car as a FR car with the engine's center of mass behind the front axle, which I think is kind of lame.

The S2000, IMO, is the proper definition of a FMR car: the entire engine is behind the front axle.
