I agree with Chris. The car does feel more about the front end, I was unsure of this at first myself but after a few runs you soon realise that the car is "FAST" to quote Days of Thunder "Loose is fast" and once you realise the car isn't going to "loop" in the corners you can start to muscle the car as much as you like.
If you want a 4wd car that handles like a 2wd but with more forward traction then the BJ4 weight distribution is great, but IMO you need to push the BJ4 quite hard to get the best from it. The first impression when you drive an S4 is that it feels much faster, I find I can relax with the car when I'm driving it and can feel confident that the car is lapping on the pace even though I am not ragging the guts out of it. With the weight further forward you can drive the S4 very deep into a corner and still be able to get it turned by using the extra drive the front of the car produces. I run the rear of my car quite stiff and don't find the rear of the car too loose even on wet astro.
