Why do the Japanese like 911's so much?

I assume Mid Night Club used Porsches because of their stability at high speed and their tuning potential. They're built for the autobahn

Even though I know this is b8 I'll bite.

Civics are the go-to car for Kanjo Loop racing. Japs love FF.

There just weren't a lot of Japanese FF cars in the 90s that could support enough hp to go 300 kph. Plus the short wheelbase of most FFs didn't help

Actually they're built for the Nürburgring.

All the other over9000 hp German shitcars are built for the Autobahn, Porsche being the only one keeping it real on the track.

Probably because finding a transmission that can handle it is/was a problem.
Not saying it isn't or wasn't done, but I'd imagine durability would be a problem long-term.
>>
>>15320463
Why do you think so?
Transmissions for FF seem to be of a simpler design than FR - what's the issue?

>>15320475
I wouldn't say that a FF transmission is simpler. The diff is part of the transmission there, which adds more complexity.
You'll need high-quality, heat-treated internals that can take the torque of a high-output engine, because you're going to be making much more torque than was ever intended. Just as an example, I'd imagine Porsche 911's, another transaxle car, would all have the same transmission. They're already built for power and high-performance application. You especially need this if you drive like a moron and "shock" the drivetrain.
You probably need ratios that will let you get up to 300km/h because the factory transmission never had that much speed in mind. Those components also have to be high-quality as well.

You're right about the diff but internals for torque really only matter in the first gears.
You can get to 300 if you take your time, I guess - hard acceleration kills the transmission.

>Porsche 911's, another transaxle car

It's a transaxle in the sense that the diff and transmission are one unit. But they're mounted longitudinally unlike most FFs

Yeah that's true, obviously an FF transaxle is different from a RR or AWD type but it's still a transaxle and just about every person, whether they're a Porsche person or not refers to it as a transaxle.......because that's what it is. So why did you have a problem with him refering to it as a transaxle?
