2) Balance front/rear.
Some say... (And this time not related to The Stig) That the 911 is quicker also due to the weight distribution:
a) Better balance front/rear when breaking.
b) better grip on acceleration.

So.. How does this affect the aim of relocating weight in a Boxster? Shold we strive to relocate as much weight as possible to the back trunk?
I believe so, to reduce under steer & improve traction for rear tires.

911's advantage is coming out of turns quicker due to rear engine weight & superior rear suspension
