Since it should have wider tyres it should also stick to the ground much better - might be that the tyre width increase demanded steering effort though.

Any insights?



And then there is the question of the front suspension geometry! The 996C4S and 996TT both have the same front axle with "canted" suspension struts to make room for the front drive shafts. The rear-wheel drive cars' front suspension strut axes are in line with the tire patch, so bump and rebound forces might be better resolved on these cars?

This could explain the better steering response and feed-back of the rear-drive cars implied in above posts.
