RWD with R comps is a good track setup... even if it comes out do the corner faster, if it feels nose heavy that won't make up for it. The 991 Turbo I drove on the track felt good though so I'll hold out judgement. Hopefully the AWD variant feels great on street and track. This should be an even better jack of all trades car than the F80 and that is saying a lot.
