I have a 2 wheeled car dolly that I use quite a bit towing cars or trucks (mine is the wide version). The best way for the tail to wag the dog, so to speak, is to tow something with the heavy end down on the pavement and the lightweight end up on the dolly.

I tried towing a Datsun 280ZXT with the rear end up on the dolly mainly because the non-running car was parked with it's nose up to a building. Needless to say about 5 miles down the road, I pulled into a truckstop and turned the car around on the dolly. For 5 miles it had swayed back and forth, and almost made the tow vehicle wipe out from the swinging and swaying.

A porsche 911 would be better with the heavy rearend up on the dolly, and the front tires on the pavement with the steering locked and in gear.
