¿Quo Vadis, /o/?

The debate should be whether that should be considered a ¨real¨ mid engine.

>>28434447 (OP)
"mid" engine

>>28434447 (OP)
engine is just fine

>>28434447 (OP)
For performance:
Mid > Front >= Rear
For convenience and ease of maintenance:
Front >= Rear > Mid

>>28434464
explain the 911 dominance.

>>28434476
Trick question, there is none.

>>28434476
1. Stubbornness + marketing on Porsche's part
2. Billions of dollars of research allows them to mitigate its inherent flaws through clever engineering, weight management, and suspension
3. There isn't much of a difference if the tires never lose traction. If you do lose traction in a RR car, then you die (like Paul Walker)

>>28434447 (OP)
will it work?

>>28434447 (OP)
Putting the engine behind the rear axle is retarded as fuck

>>28434500

Kind of

>>28434447 (OP)
mid engine, front wheel drive

FM-R is the true patrician layout and nobody can prove otherwise.

>>28434476
what dominance. Porsche goes mid engine when they're serious about competing.

>>28434491
Yeah, imagine if Paul Walker was in an MR car, he might be alive today.

Anyone who has ever driven a MR car knows there’s no substitute.

>>28434548
His friend was driving, the whole takeaway from PW's death is - never let your friends drive your car.

>>28434546
wat. the 911 has been the undisputed champ on the burgerking for ages now

>>28434545
This, you put the engine in the back and it becomes some freak abomination. You miss the entire point of having a good engine, you wanna see the shit, touch it's, have access to it. When it's moved to the rear it becomes some untouchable mystery bullshit with cooling issues. Not to mention the body ends up looking retarded..

>>28434553
even after they went to the FIA to get the viper hit with 900 lbs of ballast so they could compete, they still aren't both in racing or track record.

>>28434548
Nah he'd still be ded.

>>28434447 (OP)
these cars are considered front-mid though

Mid balance is awesome but you can’t slouchmaxx in them which completely ruins them.

>>28434476
Traditional 911 are considered finicky cars to drive due to RR and short wheelbase trickery.

>>28434447 (OP)
where is
top engine
bottom engine
right engine

Engine goes between the axles

>>28434761
yeah they feel like. like FWD but even less fun

>>28434831
>less fun
Have you ever driven one? Hell, even in a sim?
It's more fun.

>>28434775
two engines, one in front one in rear

>>28434553
911RSR is MR.

>>28434835
how is eternal understeer fun? yes I have

>>28434491
Carrera GT is MR.
Also modern porsche either have 4wd (like the Skyline GTR) or a shit load of electronic driving aids.
The GTE race car had its engine moved forward to make it MR.

Modern 911s also have optional rear axle steering. Apparently helps quite a bit it with agility

>>28434761
Modern 911s are governed by so many computers you couldn't be further from the truth. Weight distribution on 991 cars is 42/58, the tires are staggered to create a lot of understeer so unless you're on cold tires with TC off it's not easy to get yourself in trouble.

>>28434447 (OP)
what about mid engine that's in front of the driver, behind the front wheels?

>>28434841
>how is eternal understeer fun?
Nigga what, if these cars had a squared tire setup your ass would be off in a ditch, if you want shitty snap oversteer at the limit then go drive a S2000 or RX7, you're exaggerating about "eternal understeer" (whatever the fuck that means).

>>28434500
yeah

>>28435056
it's just some seething retard who is too smoothbrain for RR, he tried to cope post on /ovg/ and got bullied there too

don't ty to make sense of anything he posts, he doesn't understand that cars have different handling dynamics and thinks everything should be fwd

>>28435089
>handling dynamics
kek, wrenchlet

>>28435089
Oh you mean the tranny ricer whose favorite car is the 350z his creepy mexican uncle took him to a street takeover in.

lol

>>28434447 (OP)
Front mid engine
Rear engine is inherently flawed
Mid engine behind the driver has too many undesirable characteristics

>>28434500
Yeah that’s an electric vehicle champ

>>28434455
>engine still in front of driver
Here is a (You)

>not rear engine, front wheel drive
ngmi

>>28434447 (OP)
If you don't daily RR then you're gay

>>28435171
front/mid/rear doesn't refer to the position of the engine relative to the driver, genius. Or else lambos and shit like that would be rear engined and only vans and trucks that house the engine under the front seats would be TRVE mid-engine cars

I do like the weight distribution and performance of mid-engine cars, but lord, they are abominably noisy and just not pleasant to drive in non-track environments.

>>28438322
You have never driven a Cayman

>>28437978
The Cayman is NARP (Not A Real Porsche).

>>28434476
every generation of 911 pushes the engine a little more toward the middle

>>28438153
Go away, tourist.

>>28434447 (OP)
The C8 Corvette switched to a mid engine layout because they reached a performance limit with the FR layout.

All of you are fucking idiots! Took me 5 seconds to web search "350z" and look where the engine is: (ITS IN THE FUCKING FRONT, DUMBASSES)

>>28439701
>he thinks that the car depicted in OP's image is a 370z
he lacks critical information

>>28434447 (OP)
Why not no engine? Like the engine is external, like in a small trailer or something
