Test drove a few turbos and after owning a 99-996
the front end seems weighted down and taking turns seems
like more work at the wheel. The non turbos lighter and more controlled in the steering. I have been driving 2001-2002 6 speeds. My 99 is lowered and has Cross suspension
upgrade. The test drives were all stock turbos.

skid pad G's are mainly a function of the tires and alignment, not AWD vs RWD
or turbo vs non-turbo. Shocks don't matter either. Spring rate differences might
have a little effect if alignments are the same.

I love my turbo but most would say the RWD on the track is faster. You can power oversteer and kick the rear around tighter corners and hairpins with RWD by applying lots of throttle, cant do with AWD.

There are a couple of threads on the Porsche drag race / street race board (aka 6speed) on RWD conversions. To hear them tell it, one must only remove a few components and tinker with the front hubs. I don't think my driving skills are ready for a high hp RWD 911!

takes some tweaking and suspension mods to dial out the understeer and the correct suspension set up to get the handling much more docile and nimble. once dialed and settled in, the awd will cluck along with the best of them and you also have the boost and awd. two postives I have grown to enjoy. very noticeable especially on the canyon twisties. the awd instills confidence. AWD will pretty much out handle in twisties and steep off camber corners and will smoke most 2wd's in the canyons if set up correctly. on the track they will hold thier own, but takes some time to learn how the AWD handles and to utilize it's advantage.

Until you try to rotate the car, which the awd resists. It can be done, but it is harder.
For a track car, pick the GT2. If you drive in foul weather, pick the tt. AS
