I have debated this with several, and used to think this was the case but have changed my mind a few years ago. I use the see-saw fulcrom analogy. If you have a very long seesaw (axle) and this pivots on a fulcrom you have less distance to travel at either end to get to the ground (the weight transfer aspect). If you have a very short axle you have a larger distance to cover, taking it longer to transfer the weight. So back to karts, coming out of the corner with the LR out, the weight will come back faster, making you tighter..
