More weight in the back can actually make the car more tail happy, overloading the rear tires in a turn.
The main reasons you want a more rearward center of gravity is you are giving the front wheels more leverage authority over the cars moment of inertia, i.e. the car wants to change direction easier.
And having a rearward center of gravity allows more equal tire loading under braking allowing more total braking force to be applied.
