Not your imagination. Having weight in the back provides more stability. The engine weight is over the drive wheels in front, which can make the back end a little squirrely.

When I brought my new wheels home from the tire shop (about 150 lbs) it had the most sure-footed feel since I bought it though I could really feel that extra weight in the acceleration.

As could I but I bet having all that weight all the time would screw up my mpg.
