Posted before but here it is again:
"Hurley Haywood:
"It maintains it's performance over a longer period of time. On a race track, the Carrera 2 would be faster for one or two laps. But over a five lap period, the Carrera 4 would be quicker because it manages it's tires better and allows you to lay down power through all four wheels."

I'm a bit surprised by the repeated mentioning of the rwd car getting away from you. The electronics that govern stability work so effectively that if you can defeat them, you'd be on the edge in virtually any car. You do have to heed the slow-in/fast-out process, but that is true for all 911's.
Yesterday, I was teaching my 18 year old about fighting the intuitive act of getting off the throttle if you find yourself too hot in a turn. Perhaps the AWD would just walk you through those scenarios but at the edge, a rear-engine car requires 'help' to defy physics and remain stable.
BTW, my vote is AWD for looks, RWD for driving.

I just believe when direct compare Carrera 2 and Carrera 4 from the same Porsche (the only different are 2WD and 4WD). When talking about controllability, (not which one is a better car?). C4 should be better, absolutely doesn't mean C2 is no good.
Even though C2 has a rear engine placement, still better than a lot of RWD and cheap 4WD.
