Based on those measurements and my CAD models the S500 will have to be fitted with more lead than an Edwardian terrace's plumbing if it's too balance perfectly side - side both front and rear.
How much will people notice it? Open for debate.

Roger, when i raced on road i tried this and i had to add 170g to get my car up to the weight limit, so i made sure the car was balanced perfectly side to side at one meeting, now i will say i noticed a very slight difference but i dont think it made lap times any faster to be honest and remember this was snooker table smooth. On a bumpy off road track i really dont think it would make the slightest bit of difference
