RWD!!!

I agree with the LSD But setting the chassis up is a big bonus. With a nice chassis,LSD,tires, we were able to avoid wheel spin in 2nd gear with 1032 WHP. A tuned chassis is important.

911 are fun to drift!!!

Any car can be induced to oversteer. RWD is easier obviously, but to call a car like a 911 nose heavy is a little off IMHO. The corvette is much more nose heavy than any AWD 911.

Yes in addition to suspension and alignment. The 911 has less than 40% of the weight up front, the Z06 has just over 50%. In rough terms. the Z06 is carrying 300lbs more in the nose.

No, I said it "feels" nose heavy. I don't feel I can modulate the car like I want with the front wheels pulling it.

Before going through with the conversion, I would try a beefier FSB and slightly more aggressive front camber.

Thought about doing this conversion, then came to my senses.

Staying AWD, afterall it's 95% RWD anyhow when it needs to be and only shifts power when wheels slip.

inquiring minds want to know. What? did the lack of resistance in the front make the TC slip even more than it normally does?
