What if I argued with you that a shot-gun was a better offensive tool than a rifle?
At close range a shotgun is infinitely better than a rifle. Every pull of the trigger results in 15 .33 cal pellets going downrange(for 3" mag 00 buck), as opposed to a single rifle bullet. At close range nothing on earth short of a mini-gun can match the sheer firepower of a high capacity full or semi-auto shotgun.

Sorry for the typo.

Which largely agrees with what i said....50/50 is better for a road car. 911s and 928s and 944s are road cars.

One other thing i didnt get into is what happens when that rear mounted engine torque is applied. Make a large and sudden throttle change in a curve in a 911, and you'll find out.

PS: A properly designed suspension will "load up" the weight on the rear tires when the throttle is applied. The 928 does this brilliantly....it is a tremendous launching machine.
