Although I was not there at the time, it ran a 1:15 at Waterford Hills (posted results), small 1.4 mile twisty, difficult track. This is not a good time, my best is a 1:10:7. Hopefully it has produced better results elsewhere. That is the only actual/documented time I have seen. When I race there they place me in GT1 which is a class for tube framed ex-trans am cars with around 600 HP and straight cut gears.
Today... it takes a very fast driver with a $500K 911RSR to run those times at the same track.
The car is very light and back then was making well over 550HP at the wheels.

The owner needs to modernize the car's interior and analog gauges/switches. It's got a Motec now, but it needs a Motec dash and PDM, modern seat, etc.... I wish I would have bought that car as the starting platform. It's a bargain.

if every gram counts policy, and equal distribution really matters then its possible the answer is yes in the pursuit of a better track time (im assuming prize money isnt the pursuit) if the difference was measurable.
Or was relocating the alt to the rear axle not about balance at all... possibly less drag on the engine?
