I was hesitant to add to the OT topic, but too much bad information. Back to the topic.

This is worse than what others were saying before you.
The mass does not shift forward or backward (for the purposes of this discussion); the weight does. Weight is a measure of force, and it DOES change as the car's velocity changes.
