> Under acceleration, a rear-engine car has an almost absurd traction advantage over any other engine packaging configuration. For example, under acceleration, the 911 has a 74% rear bias, where the Cayman has a 67% bias.

Under acceleration, a rear engine car has an almost absurb traction disadvantage on the front wheels, too. There go your steering and braking.

Suspension design should be the main determinant of traction, not weight distribution. Hence other brands' insistence on neutral 50/50 front/rear ratios.
