We're not talking about the weight "weighing the car down." In fact, the opposite is true, and the ballast should be put to the rear, because, at mid-corner, the inertia of the motor (think of having an aquarium in your car) will actually cause the tires to LOSE grip. If weight gave more grip, the best handling cars would weigh more than Airbus airplanes.
Instead, lighter cars are faster because they hold their grip better; the inertia is significantly reduced. By putting more weight on the front tires, you're forcing the front tires to overcome more inertia, instead of less inertia. This is why Front-engined, rear wheel drive cars are better drift cars than MR or RR cars. Once an MR or RR car loses rear grip, the motor "swings" at a higher rate of speed, implying that there will be more inertia created, and more grip needed to save the car from a spin.
However, too far to either side is detrimental to a car's performance. I almost always use a 50/50% ballast split in my cars. It's important, because a 50/50 weight distribution creates grip through an equal distribution of inertia and other forces which actually act upon the negative loss of grip in a further negative way.
There's almost no way to actually get around a corner without losing grip. However, all four tires need to lose grip "equally" in order to balance tire wear out, and get around the corner correctly, and efficiently.
If you have too much inertia carrying the front of the car forward, without enough downforce, or other grip, your car will understeer.
If you have too much inertia over the rear of the car, pushing the rear tires forward, the car will slide around a LOT on corner entry, at apex, and on the exit.
In your case, putting weight to the front doesn't push the car down, it actually promotes a loss of grip, by promoting a gain of negative inertia, directly causing your car to battle with the laws of physics. That's a battle that can't be won, it can only be altered, for best result.
If you put a brick on a slippery ramp, with a corner at the bottom, drawn in with chalk, the brick doesn't magically turn; that's inertia. The inertia causes the brick to slide forward. Now, put that brick on wheels, and watch how much farther away from the chalk line it goes. Velocity+mass/friction is effectively inertia. The actual equation is much more complicated, but friction is a good thing, in some cases, because it causes the car to turn, but bad, in some cases, because it is the reason for tire wear and a loss of grip (friction isn't enough to compensate for inertia.
Driving a car slowly, with little to no inertia allows the tires to grip better, and to turn more without losing grip. As you increase speed, the inertia also increases...
damn!
How long do your guys' tires last?
he even kicked mine. 
Not for long, ya prick, Storm, NOT FOR LONG!
