I have yet to drive a 911 but I loved how my 44/56 MR2 handled. Rotates very fast when wheels are slipping, and the rear grips like crazy. FR cars like the twins are alright but the rear feels noticeably lighter. |

But I do believe that Tada san has stated in the past that the baby 86 car will be a global model. |

Googling reveals some of the more high end offerings managed a rearward bias like the early Viper and LFA but that only adds fuel to the fire imo. |

Non-production cars can do much better though. Supposedly Mad Mike Whiddett's 4 rotor NC Miata has significantly rear biased weight distribution... pretty awesome. |

http://www.bowtie6.com/how-much-does-honda-s2000-weigh/ Here's robispec's article on corner balancing, 50.9/49.1 with nothing in the car, 48.5/51.5 w/ 215 lb driver, 51.2/48.8 after a bad adjustment and w/ likely low fuel and final at 49.5/50.5 w/ driver, 51.5/48.5 final empty full tank. https://robrobinette.com/corner_weight.htm All a big benchracing game, I just wanted to say that while it's possible to achieve 48/52 with a front engined design, it's exceedingly rare and I could really only come up with one model that seems to resoundingly consistenly fall on rearward bias. |

I'm sure some other cars are, because there's no shortage of supercars with the super long hoods and engines crammed far back. |
