67dart273 is 100% correct. That's why the '68 Hemi Darts and Hemi Cudas put those monster batteries on the passenger side of the trunk. Also helps to locate them as far back as possible to aid weight transfer.
Same reason as an "open" rear axle almost always spins the right side tire only, and
if you look at a launching car from the rear, unless it has some fairly radical suspension, it always launches with the right side low. This is because of the torque of the driveshaft is actually trying to twist the axle up into the right side of the car against the springs.
Any car that just starts to daylight the front tires will always lift the left front first
Like so (sorry it's a Ferd)
