One of the fastest Porsche's is the 918 Spyder, which is AWD. Not to mention the the TTS which is also very fast.

So yes, because of you there is probably a lot of misinformation out there.
You're right the 959 was a rear engine... but it doesn't change my argument that AWD wasn't added to get rid of rear engine induced under steer. It was to solve the issue of traction with ever increasing HP figures. And you missed a key word in my statement of about the fastest Porsches... 'CURRENTLY'. 3 of the 4 quickest Porsches around the ring this decade are 2WD.
