To be quite honest, it is more than close enough to work awesome. I have seen the worst possible layouts win and win convincingly. This is a solid layout and i am not knocking it in any way. I do not doubt the balance of your car. I think it looks like it balances out great. I guess i am just trying to say that the Serpent does balance out well also. I think the thing i like most about your car is everything is crunched very close together towards the center. Not just left to right but front to rear. That makes it rotate like a raped ape. You put together a very sweet ride.
