When I think about it, these 911s are screwy cars. As gas is depleted from the tank, the rear weight bias of these cars increases, so it becomes apparent the driver has to continually adapt to the changes in the car's weight dynamics.
Now, there are other cars like the Miata, the RX7 and RX8, and M3, which claim to have near 50/50 weight distribution, and from a physics point of view, it seems these cars will, during spirited driving, stay much closer to that weight split, whereas the 911 never begins to approach a 50-50 distribution.
My question is two-fold: what is the advantage of a car like the 911 with the majority of its weight placed in the rear? And if there is an advantage, assuming a car does not have adjustable sway bars or that the driver cannot exit the car to play with tire pressures, etc, as fuel is burned, how does the driver compensate for an increasingly heavy rear and increasingly light front?
Thanks all.
