Hit the brakes in an earlier 911 in a curve, and it's a 180 into the wall ass end first. Do the same in a 928, and the car just simply slows down as the driver intended.
I don't think you could find many(if any) automitive engineers that would ever argue that a rear weight bias is preferrable to a 50/50 balance. To the contrary, a rear weight bias limits the operating envelope, and can be quite dangerous...especially to the uninitiated.
The early Porsches, and especailly the early Turbo cars are legendary for their "twitchy" handling. It's that engine way out back that causes that amigo.

Okay, first of all, stop writing "nuetral" it's "neutral." Second, you didn't answer the Q about why 50/50 is NEEDED (non race drivers and all). Third, yeah, I understand your mental model of performance. I understood it when I was 10.
What if I argued with you that a shot-gun was a better offensive tool than a rifle?
