....it's not Almost in the back of the rear axle - it IS on the back of the
rear axle; hence the 911 being referred to as a 'rear-engine' car
the Boxster, 360, F430, Elise's engine resides, for the most part, on or
just a bit forward of the rear axle.
the 911 is roughly a 40/60%, F/R weight distribution.
on hard fast turns, the rear tends to swing out ahead of you - with a 911.
for all instensive purposes, for street driving - you'll rarely experience
that...but on a track of wide open space, it's rather evident.
alot of people find that 'swinging' fun, it's almost like a balet
