Just thought bI'd answer this because every time this comes up someone says this front wheel BS. All I can say is that they must be used to Mustangs or something because my BDR with a 462ci FE is still 50/50.

Vehicle Handles and Corners Better than a Big Block Engine

I think most cobras are pretty close to 50/50. Just one more reason to love a cobra.
