When we were racing go-karts (40" wheelbase), we found that the ideal front to rear was 60% on the rear. I don't know of anything that corners like a race kart. Take a look at the Formula 1 and Indy cars for wheelbase and weight distribution in a full-sized car. I would think they would be the standard to build from (mid-engine).
Here's a link to one of Foyt's cars. They have mistakenly used the word tread when they meant track.

Here's a link to one of Ferrari's Formula 1 cars (F2005) that shows 3050 mm (120")
