not worth the effort and expense since the driver is along the centerline of the car, now offset the drive as in a door car and suspension is a must

A few years ago there were a few RED's around running Strange's altered struts. More recently there was a builder with a swing arm or link type straight axle front end. The selling point was the ability to keep the front tires on the ground at the launch . The reasoning behind it is that it would help starting line consistency in bracket type rear engine cars that would occasionally and sometimes frequently (depending on xxxx near everything and anything) quickly pop the front tires off the ground and set them back down again almost immediately causing erratic red lights and/or reaction times.
Are you looking to solve an existing problem?

If it worked, they would still be around today and the question would not have to be asked. add the same amount of weight all that stuff weighs to the front and it would keep the front end down too and for much much cheaper
