I have had good luck running my XTi in the long/long (chassis/motor pod) configuration, which reduces weight transfer under acceleration just like a lower CG does.

The nice thing about lowering the CG and/or lengthening the wheelbase is that it also makes the car less "pointy" on turn-in, which is great for those of us whose reflexes have slowed over the years.
