QUOTE(trev0006 @ Jun 23 2011, 09:21 AM)  While fun to watch and more fun to do the driving, this video proves NOTHING about Mid vs. Rear engine handling superiority. The test does prove that after 60 years, Porsche has developed the chassis on the 911 design to a very high level, virtually eliminating the tendency to oversteer. My point is that it is all too simplistic. The car with bigger tires and a better developed chassis beats another car with far less development. The issue is chassis development, not engine placement. IMHO, Terry |
