"part of the appeal of the 911 is it's heritage and character! how many other cars have retained so much of their original design? "
But if that original design was seriously flawed to begin with, why not scrap it? To perpetuate that flaw, model after model and apply electronic band-aids to make it viable, strikes me as obstinance. I don't consider the increased possibility of coming ass-out from a high speed turn due to quirky engine placement to be character.
Porsche holding down Cayman performance so it doesn't beat the 911 is a pretty obvious corporate admission that the 911 design doesn't make much sense. Put a rock in a sock. Twirl it around your head a few times then let'er fly. There's your 911. Now throw a boomerang...there's the Boxster.
