Braking, steering, acceleration(60 ft times), just plain feeling in the steering. Moving 700 lbs back 1" or two is huge as far as weight bias. That's my opinion on a street car. Drag cars are another story. Since my car is a hobby and not an everyday driver, optimizing everything I do to it is just a personal game to make it the best "I" can make it. I'm starting to think it's a sickness. In the long run, accumlatively, it's a blast to drive.

I set my 5.3 about 2" back on my '78Z28 by using home made s&p plates and new holes in the chassis. This allowed me to use my T-10, stock drive shaft, and stock trans crossmember....saved me a bundle of $$
