If you're interested in the handling you need to get some of that weight out of the front - put the battery and the washer bottle in the boot..... and anything else that'll move.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

rip the battery cabling out of an early BMW, its heavy guage, long enough to go to the boot (as BMW batteries are in the boot) and has a nice terminal block that you can use in the engine bay. the terminal block has 4 terminals on it and a point for jump starting (so you dont have to jump start in the boot)

my battery and washer bottle are in the boot, but the plan is to make a false floor in the boot, and move the battery etc away from its current home of the drivers side - if you can imagine most of the engine weight is on the drivers side. plus the driver sits on this side, plus sticking the battery on this side = fail!


I don't think a semi will give the same results
