I was just thinking about grip recently and how with more power, wheel spin becomes an issue, we just can't put the power down all the time. What got me thinking was watching some drags of various cars, i noticed that rear wheel cars don't necessarily need stiffer suspension since the more the weight shifts to the back, the better the grip will be. FWD is the opposite, the more flat the car stays the more weight stays on the drive tires.
Then the thought came, would raising the rear end a bit higher than the front improve traction? In theory it seems it would, it would lean more of the weight towards the front at all times, and better prevent weight transfer to the rear under hard acceleration. This would of course raise the center of gravity as the rear end is higher but the heaviest part of the car, the front end, is still fairly unchanged in height and center mass might not be affected all that much.
Has anybody thought of this, do you think it would make any difference?
