I have no clue why Porsche has stuck with rear engined cars for so long
Mid engine is superior and has been proven so dozens of times
But the 911 is still stuck in 1963 and probably won't get out ever.

why is it the wrong place? isnt it there to add weight to the back wheels for better acceleration grip?
mid engine? what is this witch craft

I got a new Volvo over the summer. Needed a daily driver bad. The S60 is a great car if you can find a listing on it.

anything closer to the middle would be better, I think. at least as far as weight distribution goes

My car has a clever weight distribution that makes the car act like a mid-engined car under acceleration. It's nice because I can sturdily accelerate through turns without needing to slow down significantly before them.

but thats why they got those giant ass spoilers. to push the car nose down and stop it from taking flight
basically balancing out the weight distribution
adding more weight to the wheels accelerating and less to the others is what you would want i guess. those cars arent exactly made for drifting, in the rain, with racing tires.
