To be fair:
Other RWD vehicles are usualy front engine rear wheel drive and have 50% or less of their weight on the rear axle.
My car is mid engine rear wheel drive.
To be exact, transverse mid engine rear wheel drive.
Think of it as FWD, but in reverse.
It has most of its weight on the rear axle and all heavy components are pretty centralized behind the seats, resulting in a super low polar momentumn of inertia, great rear traction and the rear brakes actualy do something because the rear axle is so heavy while the long wheelbase and low center of gravity result in low load transfer.
The car might be short overall, but its wheelbase is 2450 mm.
