50/50 means that the front and back of the car will react equally to any changes and that these changes will be more reliable.
however I have heard of a system that uses a very heavy compact block wieght (up to 500 lbs in some cases) that is supported under the car with hydraulic rams that push and pull the weight around under the car giving it close to 50/50 weight distribution under most conditions (both front to back and left to right) combine that with BOSE's electro-magnetic linier accelerator suspenion and you would get some pretty mind boggling handling.
Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
