Agreed but on review of the OP the answer would have to be that you can't use weight distribution in the same context for a vehicle in motion compared to static distribution stats.
There are simply too many factors that are adjustable or modifiable by the owner to make any manufacturer figures meaningless.
I'd suggest a 50:50 weight distribution gives you the most level playing field from which to develop a package of dynamic characteristics that suits your needs.
