The rear engine layout can cause oversteer on trailing throttle as you balance a car mid corner, but typically, because the weight is swung out so far back, the front wheels don't get much grip and the cars tend to plow a lot. This is common knowledge for how 911's handle. they can especially tend to understeer under throttle, as this accentuates the rear weight bias as weight gets shifted even more away from the fronts.

But this porsche is everything the GT-R isn't.
It's got telepathic steering feel, uses natural physics dynamic, requires serious driver skill, and it can be both the most rewarding and most frustrating car all at the same time.
I can hop in a GT-R right now and get a decent lap time, whereas I would crash the 911 probably within the first 2 corners.

you've driven one, or both cars? also, what is/are "natural physics dynamic?"
i think this is the quintessential daily driver-supercar. I've driven a few year old Turbo Cabrio S and jesus. the thing is comfortable and MOVES.

I know magazine racing is frowned upon, but unlike most of you expert drivers, I know the magazine writers can drive better than myself. If most of them think the 911 is a handful when pushed, chances are, I would not do any better.
