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...

This condition really isn’t too bad in a 911. That’s because the gas tank is within the wheelbase. I’ve found the car that suffers from this “phenomena” the most is one you’d suspect the least: a C4 Corvette. In that car, the gas tank is high, and at the very rear of the car. As it empties, you really feel the change.
I find the "trick" with a 911 is when the car spins. Catching a 911 as it spins is like trying to catch a swinging hammer. Once all that weight comes around, you have a lot of physics to deal with...
