Mid engine V rear engine handling

TLDR, summary?

 

A GT-3 handles better than a Cayman! Somehow this is supposed to indicate rear engine superiority over mid engined design.

Too many extraneous factors imho.

 

Crap test - are they just an extension of Porsche's GT3 marketing dept?

 

Agreed.

 

"But had we pitted the Cayman R against a more pedestrian 911, the handling tests likely would have been tighter. Or alternately, imagine for a minute a Cayman RS armed with more than 400 horsepower, a nice fat set of Pilot Sport Cup tires, and another dollop of carbon fiber. That would be one awesome Porsche. And one likely capable of finally eclipsing the iconic 911."


Duh! All things being equal....?

 

I'll wait until I see all the F1 cars move their engines aft of the rear axle

 

Isn't that EVO?
