Interesting thread. Maybe I need to run an M# in my motoring life, to scratch my RWD itch. In the meantime, I love the 911 (except for the stupid kickdown feature of the PDK mentioned above, which I really want to get coded out), I love the way it moves down the road, and especially the way it moves out of corners. I find it very quiet and refined compared to my other car (tracked, polybushed, semi-slicks, manual) but it's never been uninvolving. Running up a mountain road at my own speed, all of my friends are far behind.
RWD is a fascination but I've never been a tail-out bandit, and I can still remember with horror the feeling of 'losing it' in a number of RWD non ESP'd cars over the years (none crashed thankfully): a BMW, an Opel Manta, and once even a Lexus (on mismatched tyres). But somehow I think my RWD is going to be something lower, a sports car like an S2000, MX5, etc. rather than a coupe. You need to stay low to the ground.
