I have three driving gloves, each of them I use a cotton liner glove in them (since the leather driving gloves are expensive to clean). wow, if the glove does not fit... what kind of gloves do you use that you're worried about messing them up?

Having racing professionally in the past, and speaking specifically to my particular car, I can absolutely guarantee better handling by relocating weight from front to back. Tuning the suspension would not be required because of the small percentages that we are talking about here. Hooking up the tires with traction control off would be improved.

Adding people to the back does not show improvement because you are not really relocating weight. You have two people up front and the two in the back are close to the center of gravity. Relocating the battery is a classic move that has been done since the muscle car era.
