well it would help the mustangs messed up weight ratio.
yeah they are something like 45 front 55 back but it really isnt worth it unless you go to the track alot or under hood space problems. its not going to help a ton with weight distribution but it will help your hookups a little bit if your on streets and have problems getting traction.

remember if you do it and you have a normal battery you gotta get a sealed box, you dont want your car filling up with battery acid fumes. if you got a dry cell battery you can have that thing in the center console itwont matter. but most of the sealed battery boxes are about 200 bucks i think (theres cheap ones but they arent sealed).
thats strange I would think there would be more weight up front than in the rear?¿
