-No more plowing and much improved repnosiveness from the front end when initiating
honestly the additional weight over the wheels i really never noticed, car drives great does not feel nose heavy, dosnt plow one bit. then when you compare the power and sounds of a inline 6 over a 4cylinder you could careless about anything other then mashing the loud pedal. I also belive that with the right suspension set up you can over come any small issue like weight... im rocking PBM coils and my car responds so quick to steering input.
ok back on track

It sounds like he's referring to drifting on a competitive level, in which case there would probably be a noticeable amount of understeer based on the weight and placement of the motor. I don't believe the weight of this swap would be the issue, but the placement of the motor and how far back/low it is mounted to attain proper weight distribution. /end thread jack
