Wow so much misinformation... AWD wasn't implemented to cure any handling bugs in the 911. It was to solve the issue of traction with ever increasing HP figures. Additionally, EU has some horrible weather and AWD might be needed by a huge population of 911 owners. The 959 was a mid engine car with AWD and the fastest Porsche's around race tracks currently are 2WD. So what does that tell you?
Separately, if the argument that read engine layout's are wrong is just plain old. If it's so wrong, why is the 911 the sports car measuring stick?
