It's come up many times. Having your weight sit low in the car provides more energy than a weight that sits high up.
In this pic, I've imagined a car that could have weight in the body, 3/8" from the track, or a weight 2-3/8" up from the track.
The low weight actually falls almost a quarter inch further than the high weight.
(The measurements in the pic are actually off by a very wee bit: the vertical line (hypotenuse) of the weight-to-track actually intersects the track further down for the "higher" weight than the same line on the lower, so the "low" weight falls that wee bit further)
