A bit altered...
Its a boxster. Tubed out with an FD RX7 body on it.
Its got a rotary engine in the middle. (this car retained the factory firewall for the most part)
But back to towing. I've never had problems towing (granted I haven't towed 986's much) I can't see why it would be a problem flat towing.
The countershaft is on the bottom of the trans, and the lube is driving by that input from the wheels. For the same reason you can tow bugs in this way.
The only reason why I think the manual says you shouldn't is because of the floating steering wheel and keeping the key in the on position will kill the battery. I guess Porsche just didn't want to deal with a bunch of warranty claims for dead batteries.
