You just made my point.

This thread is about M2 vs Model 3. And in this comparison M2 wins for all the reasons we’ve already mentioned.

I have to disagree with you. 50/50 front rear split is the ideal weight distribution in a car like the M2, and large part of why the balance of the chassis is so neutral. If you start with 50/50 then suspension designers can work with physics, not against it, on how the weight transfers during acceleration and braking. This is achieved by picking spring rates, and roll stiffness. And since neutral steering is pretty much set, now they can focus on damping and optimizing braking and acceleration traction forces via suspension parameter optimization. This is far more efficient than starting with a 60/40 split and trying to overcome with suspension design.
