Actually in my (admittedly also a non professional but many years of amateur racing experience) opinion a car with 50/50 balance is very good but not optimal. For a really lively car with excellent turn in characteristics you want a more rearward weight balance. Look at most really fast cars (F1, Indy Car, IMSA Prototypes, etc.) and you will see they all have more weight over the rear. A good driver knows how to move the weight through suspension movements with braking, acceleration and steering to have the weight where he needs it when he needs it.
For most drivers the car with 50/50 balance feels more comfortable to drive fast but for all out speed most prefer to have a little more weight at the rear. Not too much as the car becomes very tail happy very fast, think early 911's. Usually the "optimum" balance is considered 57% rear, 43% front. Over the years I've driven a front heavy car (mustang), a 50/50 car (Porsche 944) and rear heavy cars (open wheel formula cars) on track at speed. The 944 was probably the easiest to drive fast but for all out cornering speed the open wheel formula cars or any car with a silmilar weight balance is best.
Now back to the subject of this thread. A 'Vette with 50/50 balance is going to be the best street driver. It will be the most confidence inspriring when going fast and feel great at more normal speeds!
That sounds pretty professional to me , it sounds like you have a ton more experience than I have at any rate .
seems that I was wrong . My experience is limited to street cars except for some straight line quarter mile passes. I have however owned corvettes for more than 50 years , for many years I got a new one every year. Although I’ve owned a few cars that were more exotic , vetts were always my favorite.
