The difference between 50/50 and 54/46 in terms of front/rear weight distribution when it comes to handling characteristics is HUGE!!! Having been involved in race car set-up for many years I can tell you that a car with 54% of it's weight on the front will plow like a dump truck (understeer). At 50% front and rear the car will exhibit initial nuetral steering. Beyond static weigh, spring and shock rates, as well as center-of-gravity and many other factors come into play.
Having owned several C's and NG's, I agree that the C900 handles significantly better than the NG900.
