nine17 says..... " Doesn't the dynamic ability of the 911 as a true rear-engine car depend to a large extent on the low center-of-gravity of the flat-6 engine configuration?..."
In my heart, I would say..."yes".
As a practical matter, even if the science tells me it's slightly higher CG...I would say it won't matter much. Look at what Porsche did with the 930 / 934 / 935....especially all the variants of the 935. All manner of mechanical clap-trap, intercoolers, turbos, etc...way up and back.
As the late, great Bob Akin said of the 935's ...and how unwieldy they can be..."You can't make a racecar out of a pig.....but you can make an *awfully fast* pig !!! ".
