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?

Polar moment of inertia is the point where the vehicle seems to rotate on an axis.
